How many days
Half a day for the village and the bay boat. Spending a night in a funaya lets you see the bay at early morning and dusk without the tour groups.
When to go
Spring and autumn usually bring calm seas and mild weather. In winter there are some snowy days and seasonal fish like yellowtail. In July the Ine festival brings decorated boats into the bay in some years.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
No, for the village and the boat: the bus from Amanohashidate stops at the bay. A car helps to reach Kyogamisaki cape and the peninsula coast, where buses are infrequent.
