I took the cruise after making a reservation on the same day. The river cruises were fully booked, so I made a last-minute reservation, and I was even more grateful that I could pay immediately. It was a bit expensive, but I made an emergency reservation, exchanged my Tree Pouch at the Dotonbori River, and boarded right away.

Reviews: Kyoto Amanohashidate + Ine Fishing Village 1-day tour [Includes Amanohashidate cable car ticket and Ine Bay sightseeing boat ticket]

Kyoto by the Sea is absolutely gorgeous. A fantastic day trip! It's much cheaper and more convenient than going on your own. It's a bilingual (Chinese and Korean) tour, with about half the passengers being Chinese and half Korean. Our guide, Gu Wenji, was incredibly helpful and patient. Highly recommended!

Reviews: Kyoto Amanohashidate + Ine Funaya 1-Day Tour: Optional Amanohashidate Chairlift and Monorail + Ine Bay Cruise
Guest User2026-05-17
I originally planned to explore Amanohashidate on my own, taking my time to enjoy the scenery, but considering my husband's recent back and leg problems, we opted for a day tour instead. We boarded in Kyoto, and the tour guide contacted us beforehand via WeChat with the license plate number and phone number. The agreed-upon time was also very punctual. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, providing explanations of the sights along the way. Since there were many Koreans on the bus, she spoke a lot of Korean. The scenery was beautiful, and the weather was perfect. It would have been quite inconvenient to travel to these places on my own, so choosing a day tour with an enthusiastic guide was a great option. I recommend it to everyone!

Reviews: (Departing from Osaka/Kyoto) Sea of kyoto 1-day tour: Amanohashidate, ine boat houses & ine bay cruise
Guest User2026-10-14
The meeting point was clearly marked, and the tour was led by Lion Travel Japan. The bus was very comfortable, and you could choose to get off in Kyoto or Osaka on the return trip. Ine Bay offers easy access to the boathouse streets, and the sightseeing boat trip to feed the seagulls was a lot of fun. During the trip, seagulls and eagles would come to eat the shrimp balls, but be careful as the eagles' talons are sharp and could cause injury. Lion Travel's ticket service even included shrimp balls for feeding and tiles to throw, making it excellent value. We took a cable car and chairlift to Kasamatsu Park; the chairlift offered a better view, and there were restaurants there at reasonable prices. From Chion-ji Temple, you could walk to the sandbar beach to enjoy the same panoramic view. The whole trip was very enjoyable. Joining a day tour saved us the hassle of transportation, and Kelly, who led the tour, also recommended many good places to eat and buy. I highly recommend Lion Travel's tours.
