Ine Floating Town – A Dreamy Japanese Version of Venice

The lesser-known small fishing village of Ine, located in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, is attracting the attention of travel enthusiasts around the world for its beauty that rivals even the real Venice.


One of the joys for travel lovers is exploring and enjoying a new, lesser-known destination. And the small fishing village located in Ine Bay, Kyoto, Japan, has become a dream town for travelers with its pristine, peaceful, and ancient charm. Named Ine no Funaya – Ine Boat Houses, the first impression left on visitors is 230 floating houses lined up next to each other along the clear blue sea. It is this row of rustic wooden houses beside calm waters that has earned the place its reputation as the Venice of Japan.
