While the large sightseeing cruise boats are great, the best way to truly experience Ine's charm is by catching a "Sea Taxi" captained by a local fisherman. These smaller boats offer a unique and intimate experience! You can hear the history and inside stories of the Funaya (boathouses) directly from the captain. You can hop on directly from the pier without a reservation. Best of all, they can pick you up right in front of our inn.

Hidden Scenery Just a Short Walk Away Hidden from the main street, Yasaka Shrine stands in quiet serenity at the top of a stone staircase. As you pass under the torii gate and walk up a few more steps, a breathtaking view of the sea opens up behind you. If you love discovering hidden scenic spots, it is highly recommended to visit on a clear day!

It is about a 15 to 20-minute walk from our inn (turn left with the inn behind you). Along the way, you will pass Mukai Shuzou Brewery, Aura Cafe, Hakuzu Coffee Stand, and the Hirata Yasaka Shrine.

Please take your time and soak in the charming, peaceful atmosphere of our small fishing village.

Not only can you pick up a handy exploration map here, but you can also rent an electric-assist bicycle (e-bike) that makes cruising up slopes and long distances an absolute breeze.
