Kyoto by the sea

Recently, the weather in Kyoto is getting warmer.

The area of Kyoto by the sea is around the northern of Kyoto, along coastline from Maizuru(舞鶴) to Ine, and it is famous for Amanohashidate ‘天橋立’ as one of the three scenic spots in Japan, so called Oriental Venice-Inemachi ‘伊根町’,and It is Miyama Town ‘美山町’, Naka-mura village of Kayabuki in Kyoto.

The weather was so great that day, so photos were bright and beauty.

My tour would be Amanohashidate ‘天橋立’ à Shipyard of Ine ‘伊根の舟屋’à Miyama Town‘美山町’by rental car, and those places took two and half hours to get there.

Also, you can use other access to come here, such as train.

Amanohashidate is the most famous for a thin strip of land connects two opposing sides of Miyazu Bay.

The middle is a sandbar that separates north and south.

When I saw this sign, Amanohashidate arrived in front of me.

I went to the entrance of Amanohashidate ,and I saw a beautiful scenery immediately.

I envy people living here, because it’s nearby ocean.

Along the sandbar, the color of the sea and sky is very clear and so blue.

When I go along the beach, distant mountain can be seen.

I was so relaxing here.

There is a bridge can rotate to let cargo and ships pass through.

Then, Shipyard of Ine ‘伊根の舟屋’

When we talked about shipyard, that would be a port in the first floor and the place to put fishing gears, the second floor is the living room.

Because the view is so spectacular, Oriental Venice is called by this reason.

Nowaday, there are about 230 shipyards in the Ine area and it is designated as a nation of "important group of traditional building materials to preserve."

It took about 30 minutes from Amanohashidate to Ine.

This is also the sightseeing spot close to the sea in Kyoto.

It was a little bit pity, but the weather became somewhat worse when I went here.
The scenery was still very wonderful.

The last one in Kyoto of the sea - Miyama Town.

It is the third historic villages in Japan, called Miyama Kayabuki.
There are 50 houses in Miyama, there are 38 houses with the roof of crawl, and especially the building is wooden.

I felt like it’s very ordinary daily life in Miyama Town.

I highly recommend you can have your own trip over this area.
