What to expect

About Maizuru Shore Excursion

Maizuru City, known as "Kyoto of the Sea", is a city facing the Sea of ​​Japan. It was a military port of the old navy and prospered by quickly absorbing modern culture. Now, 120 years later, Maizuru City retains many buildings from that time, centered on the red brick building that was originally an old naval facility. There is also a base of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and you can get a close-up view of Aegis battleships, frigates and other ships that cannot be seen elsewhere. You can take beautiful photos of red brick buildings and warships with the blue sea as the background, or you can try something new at the fishing port. Seafood and other tourism options are really great!

Highlights

  • Hop on Amanohashidate sightseeing boat to enjoy the fantastic beauty of Miyazu Bay, one of the most beautiful bays in the world. 
  • Visit Kotohikihama Narisa Beach where the sand can "sing."
  • Discover Ine Funaya, the most beautiful fishing port town in Japan.
  • Explore the unique Japanese hut settlement in Miyama Town. 


*We may visit three out of the above four attractions based on the hours your ship stays in Maizuru. 

* We will not visit the World Brick Museum, which is boring to show you the special bricks. 


Cruise passengers: You may get this excursion for FREE if you book the cruise through us or transferring your existing reservation to us (meaning we are your travel agent who booked the cruise for you with nothing changed). Please contact us to learn how. 

Maizuru's Top Attractions

Amanohashidate inside Miyazu Bay (天桥立)

Take the Amanohashidate sightseeing boat to cruise around Miyazu Bay. This bay is the sister bay of Le Mont-Saint-Michel and is a member of the World's Most Beautiful Bays Club. Its natural beauty and rich natural resources are recognized by the world. The Amanohashidate sightseeing boat runs between the Fuchu area and the Monju area, and the one-way trip takes 12 minutes.

You can enjoy the outline of Amanohashidate from the sea by boat. In addition, you can see many seabirds approaching the boat. If you are lucky enough, you can also feed the seabirds.

Kotohikihama Narisa Beach (琴引濱)

Kotohikihama, located on the north west coast of Tango Peninsula, is a beach with a total length of about 1,800 meters. Although this beach may seem ordinary, it is actually a sand beach. It is called "Narusha" in Japanese, which means it is a sand beach. A special beach that makes sounds (sings), and is also the largest sand sand beach in Japan!


The secret of the singing of sand is that the sand contains quartz (about 75% content), and the local environment is well maintained, so the sand grains are clean and pure. Therefore, when rubbed, stepped on, or patted with hands, the sand becomes Will make a sound.

Ine Funaya (伊根舟屋)

Ine, located about half an hour's drive from Amanohashidate, is known as "Japan's most beautiful fishing port town". Some people also call it "Kyoto Venice" to see how beautiful it is! In addition to being close to the seaside, the most distinctive feature of Ine is the long-standing local boathouses. There are about 230 boathouses connected together around the bay. From a distance, they seem to be floating on the sea. The unique scenery attracts many tourists. One of the reasons to visit.

Hut Settlement Village (美山町茅屋之里)

There are three major thatched hut settlements in Japan, namely Shirakawa Gassho Village in Gifu, Miyama Town in Kyoto and Ouchijuku, Fukushima. These three Gassho villages not only have a long history but also retain traditional Japanese architecture, and Miyama Town in Kyoto (美山かやぶきの里) is Among the three Gassho villages, it is the easiest to access and arrange a day trip. It is highly recommended that those who plan to visit Amanohashidate can also plan to visit Miyama Town Hut No Sato!
