Niché dans la préfecture de Kyoto, le village d'Ine offre un spectacle saisissant avec ses maisons de pêcheurs traditionnelles construites sur l'eau. Ces habitations uniques, appelées funaya, s'alignent le long de la baie d'Ine sur près de 5 kilomètres, créant un paysage pittoresque qui semble figé dans le temps. Véritable joyau du patrimoine architectural japonais, Ine invite les visiteurs à découvrir un mode de vie ancestral préservé et à s'immerger dans l'atmosphère authentique d'un village de pêcheurs. Entre tradition et modernité, ce petit bout de Japon rural fascine par sa beauté et son caractère hors du commun.
Going to Inemachi, the Bay of Ine, will give you a better understanding of the concerns Japan has in regards to space. Wedged between the sea and mountains on a strip of land about twenty meters wide, the village has had to adapt.
Boat Houses
These natural constraints have led to Funaya - boat houses. These Funaya consist of a unique blend between home, warehouse and boat garage. The architecture of the oldest one mirrors the white warehouses of the Edo era. The house is located on the shore of the bay and its ground floor is laid out like a fishing boat, and even has a repair shop. The upper floors house the living areas.
Reconversion
The Funaya in Ine are still fishermen's homes who have preserved their activity, but several of them have been converted into restaurants and izakaya (pubs). They offer a relaxing time with breathtaking views of the bay and its clear waters.
We experience the atmosphere of the small fishing village, far away from mass tourism and closer to authenticity. The village is also ranked amongst the most beautiful villages in Japan.
