Stay at a ryokan and experience the fishing lifestyle of Kyoto.

For this trip, we choose to experience a quiet corner suitable for trying out the slow life in the Japanese countryside style. We take everyone straight to our favorite lovely village, Ine Fishing Village, a fishing village in Kyoto. The highlight is staying at a ryokan with a view of Funaya houses lined up along the river. Try tasting fresh food from the sea, stop by a chic cafe, walk around the village, take your time, enjoy the beauty, relax, look at the water, look at the clouds. Everything is perfect as if it was created just for us. Even though it's only 1 night and 2 days, it's a short time that creates good memories for a long time. The last time we came here as a day trip and liked it so much that we had to tell ourselves that next time we must find a chance to stay for a night. This time, we didn't miss the chance to book a ryokan that converted the Funaya on the upper floor of the shipyard to accommodate tourists. We chose to stay at Waterfront Inn, a small accommodation on the riverside with only 8 rooms in total. Although it's a small accommodation, the service is still lovely in the Japanese style. There are no complaints, only compliments. Inside the room, futons are laid out on tatami mats for the number of guests. Every room has windows for us to open to the breeze from the bay and enjoy the view all day long. With a tea table and tea set with snacks, as well as complete amenities, there is a shared bathroom and a shower room that opens and closes at specific times. Imagine a bedroom with a close-up view of the bay. We think it's a dream for many people, including ourselves. We traveled in late March, which was the cherry blossom season. It was so much more enjoyable. #ine #kyoto #sakura2024
