Ine walking model course itinerary
① View from Road Station Funaya no Sato Ine Observatory
When you come to Ine, the first thing you want to see is the view of Ine. The observatory is the best for that.
The observatory is located in “Michi-no-Eki Funaya no Sato Ine”. So, let’s go to the roadside station first.
② Lunch seafood bowl (restaurant oil shop)
After seeing the beautiful scenery, I’m hungry and want to have lunch.
Ine is a fisherman’s town on the coast of the Sea of Japan, so you can expect lunch.
So after all lunch is a seafood bowl! Let’s enjoy fresh seafood at the seafood bowl of the oil shop, which is the most popular restaurant in Ine!
The shop is located inside the roadside station, so you don’t have to move.

③ Stop by souvenirs (Ine Fish Market souvenir shop)
When you come to the roadside station, another stop is the souvenir shop of Ineura Fisheries Co., Ltd., so the price is cheap!
We sell dried fish of the season caught in Ine.
If you can only get souvenirs related to Ine fish here, please stop by.

④ Start walking around Ine Funaya
After enjoying the view of Ine, you want to see it up close!
Funaya in Ine is a residential area, so there are only a limited number of places where you can park your car.
Therefore, please use the Ineura Park parking lot or Shichimenzan parking lot where you can park.
Both parking lots are located in the Funaya group, so they are ideal for a walk.
From here, let’s walk along the coastline along Funaya.

⑤ Inemachi Tourist Information Center
The Inemachi Tourist Information Center is located in the center of Ine. It is a base for sightseeing in Ine Town.
In addition to providing information on sightseeing, we also carry out activities such as walking guided tours, fishing experiences, and sea kayaking experiences. The store also sells souvenirs made by Ine’s mother.
As for souvenirs, postcards, masking tape with a Funaya motif, dressings using vegetables caught in Ine Town, and Bagna cauda using Ine fish are all perfect souvenirs of Ine.
Please feel free to drop by.

⑥ Stop by Mukai Brewery
Next, I would like to visit Mukai Brewery, which is also a tourist attraction in Ine.
Also known as “the sake brewery closest to the sea in Japan”, it is a 260-year-old sake brewery where the original sake made by Mr. Mori is popular.
In particular, the red sake “Ine Mankai” made from ancient rice (red rice) called purple komachi is popular with women because of its rosé wine-like flavor.
Ine full bloom is a sake purchased by Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress.
In the summer, ice cream made with sake lees in full bloom in Ine is recommended. There is also a pier in front of you, so please enjoy while gazing at the view of Funaya.
* There is a lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00.

⑦ Board a sea taxi
The funaya seen from the road is beautiful, but the view from the sea is also exceptional. We recommend a sea taxi!
In Ine Bay, a local former fisherman will take you around the bay for 30 minutes while guiding you on your own boat.
Since it is a small pleasure boat, it can accommodate up to 20 people. So you can enjoy a different sense of reality from a large ship.
You can board the ship without reservation on the day.
Reservation method: Choose from the following 3 options and call directly to come to “Shichimenzan Parking Lot”.
Maritime taxi information Seiyo Maru: 0772-32-0230 Kameshima Maru: 0772-32-0585 Marinated: 090-7360-9323

⑧ At the end, relax at the cafe (INE CAFE)
After enjoying the excursion, head to the cafe. INECAFE is located in the Funaya group, so if you ask when you board the pleasure boat, you can board the cafe by boat.
It’s kind of nice to go to a cafe by boat.
Ine Bay is the best view from INEA CAFE over a cup of coffee!
Store information INECAFE / TEL: 0772-32-1720 / Business hours: 11: 00-17: 00 / Regular holiday Wed
how was it? This is about 3 o’clock, so it’s just right for a day drive.
The cafe is open until 17:00, so please enjoy the relaxing Ine time to your heart’s content.
