[Ine Bay Sightseeing Boat]

This sightseeing boat travels along the calm Ine Bay for about 25 minutes. Watch out for Ine’s main attraction: the funaya (“boat houses”). On a lucky day, dolphins in the area will sometimes approach the boat!

[Amanohashidate Kasamatsu Park]

Kasamatsu Park is on the northern side of Amanohashidate. It is well-loved by tourists for its panoramic view of the pine trees dividing Miyazu Bay and Asoumi Sea.

The unique view makes the trees look like a bridgeway to heaven.
