Ine Boathouses

Japan's quaintest fishing village
Ine is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Japan due to its untouched structures, location facing the Sea of Japan, and surrounding luscious greenery. However, its most charming and popular aspect would be the gorgeous ‘funaya’, which translates to fishermen’s boathouses. These incredibly unique yet beautiful infrastructures sit right above the bay along the coast on the waters and are double-storied – the bottom floor is for the residential families to park their boats, and the upper floors are the living spaces.

These days, whilst it doesn’t attract enormous crowds as some of the major cities do, Ine has really placed itself on the map as a destination to go to for rest and relaxation, to capture the seaside beauty, and an overall unique experience.

It is possible nowadays to actually stay overnight in one of the funayas in Ine if you’d like. Whilst most still remain residential homes, there are a few that have been refurbished and welcome visitors into their lodgings. It’s an experience quite unlike any other to wake up on top of water, with views opening up to the Sea of Japan.
