This travel vlog follows a solo journey through northern Kyoto, highlighting two of the region’s most scenic destinations: Amanohashidate and Ine Fishing Village. The video offers an in-depth look at Amanohashidate, renowned as one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views (日本三景, Nihon Sankei), where visitors can admire the striking natural sandbar from iconic observation spots such as Amanohashidate View Land and Kasamatsu Park. The route showcases the area’s breathtaking landscape and details the unique vantage points that provide memorable panoramic views of the area.
The journey continues to Ine Village (伊根町, Ine-chō), famous for its Funaya (舟屋) boat houses that line the tranquil bay. This traditional fishing village has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings (重要伝統的建造物群保存地区), and the video offers viewers a chance to walk among these picturesque waterfront homes. The vlogger further immerses viewers in local culture by joining an Ine Bay sightseeing boat, providing a new perspective on the historic coastal landscape.
The adventure concludes at Yuhigaura Beach (夕日ヶ浦海岸), known for its breathtaking sunsets and peaceful shoreline. Along the way, the pleasant weather, leisurely drives, and the final view of a vivid red sunset make for a genuinely memorable tour of Kyoto’s northern coast. Amanohashidate is accessible by train from Kyoto City via the Miyazu Line, and both Amanohashidate and Ine are popular day-trip destinations for those seeking natural beauty and traditional charm in Kyoto Prefecture.
