To begin with, you can’t miss the opportunity to stay at a traditional style ryokan, and Okuine Onsen situated in the heart of town is one of the best. From classic Japanese cuisine and a number of traditional hot springs, and the offering of both western and Japanese style room options, there’s something for all types of travelers. One of the biggest highpoints of this impressive ryokan is its location right by the Japanese sea. Offering spectacular views and easy access, a stay at Okuine Onsen Aburaya is one you won’t forget.
Whether you’re exploring the wider Ine area, or planning on day tripping across the Tango peninsula, there’s no better place to set up home base. The hotel offers a free pick-up service available between the hotel and KTR (Kyoto Tango Railway) Amanohashidate Station once a day, just contact the desk a day before arrival to make transport reservations.![Where to Stay Around Ine]()

If you want to stay waterside, a night or two at Waterfront Inn is definitely worth adding to your itinerary. This traditional style guesthouse is actually a refurbished funaya (classic local boathouse) perfect for those wanting to really get an authentic glimpse into the daily lives of the Ine locals.
In 2005 the funaya of Ine were officially certified as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. Their impressive architecture, rich history and stunning scenery have garnered them a position as one of Ine’s most valuable artifacts.![Where to Stay Around Ine]()

Taiheiso Guesthouse is another fantastic option if the funaya accommodation is your style. Offering all the classic Japanese style charm you’ve come to expect from regular ryokan stays, but with with the stunning Ine as your backdrop, once you experience the beauty and rustic charm of living in a fuanya chances are you won’t want to go back to regular hotels.
