Kyoto Prefecture Yosa-gun Ine-cho

In the town of Ine-cho on the eastern tip of the Tango Peninsula, a boat garage is called a “Funaya.” These homes that lie in between the road and the sea have a unique construction where the first floor is where the residents prepare for fishing and store their tools, while the second floor is used as a living room and bedroom, etc. The sight of the some 230 funaya lying in a row is unusual even in Japan, and the area has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings.

It is a quiet area on the Sea of Japan side of Kyoto. Houses for fishing unique to Japan are built facing the sea. And that fishing method continues today. From the sea, you can see the rows of...

天橋立の観光船の発着場である一の宮桟橋から徒歩で2分程度のところにある神社です。現在、伊勢神宮外宮に祀られている『豊受大神』が、元はこの神社に祀られていることもあり、『元伊勢』とも称されていますが、神社そのものは小ぢんまりとしており、境内を周遊するだけであれば1時間も要さないくらいです。天橋立の南端に位置する智恩寺の方が、天橋立駅から徒歩で数分でアクセス出来るからか、智恩寺の方が参拝客が多く、その...

A 3.6 kilometer long sandbar 20 to 170 meters wide separating Miyazu Bay from the inland Sea named Asokai north to south, Amanohashidate is covered with some 8,000 pine trees. Due to its seeming appearance as a bridge to the heavens, it came to be called Amanohashidate (“Bridge to Heaven.”).

The Amanohashidate Winery makes its own wine from grapes they cultivate in vineyards looking out on Amanohashidate. Guests enjoy wine tastings and a lunch buffet featuring handmade dishes with plenty of local ingredients. Their original white wine soft serve ice cream comes recommended, as does their Baby Wine, like a sparkling wine in the process of fermenting that you can only drink there. You could only get such flavors at a winery.

系列の宿に宿泊し、その時頂いたワインも購入したくて訪れました。宿から無料クーポンを貰っていたので白ワインソフトクリームを建物裏のぶどう畑に面したテラスで味わいました。後味にふんわりワインの香りがする美味でした。コロナ禍だからか(？)テイスティングやガイドツアーをやってないというのが残念でした。天橋立駅周辺の観光スポットから離れているのでわざわざ足を運んだビジターばかりなのに少しサービスに欠けるか...

Kyoto Miyazu-shi Miyamoto

This catholic church was built in 1896 by the French priest Jean Louis Relave. The Romanesque church blends elements of Western and Japanese architecture such as a French-style exterior and an interior with Japanese tatami mat flooring and Parisian stained glass. The beautiful church is an excellent example of mid-Meiji architecture. It is closed to visitors during mass.

宮津駅から徒歩7-8分ほど。宮津市役所と細い道を挟んだところに裏門がある。1896年築で、現在もミサが行われている木造天主堂としては日本最古。京都府指定有形文化財。丹後のケヤキ材を用いたアーチを描く天井やステンドグラスが美しいとのことだが、天主堂の鍵が開けられるのは月・水・金の午後だけということで堂内に入ることはできなかった。

表題の通り「浦島伝説」初期型の発祥の地です。神社自体は日本海側の集落の普通の神社・・・と云った雰囲気で創建は825年とされています。今に伝わる「乙姫」「竜宮城」「亀の恩返し」といった要素は室町時代の御伽草紙あたりから出てきたワードで、初期型は720年に書かれた日本書紀で軽く触れられた話で、詳細は丹後国風土記に書かれており、478年に丹後の浦島子が船で釣りをして5色の亀を釣り、その亀が仙女に変身...

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
