Inn built of Funaya — Hotel in Ine

Funaya Kura is beautifully and artistically designed with combinations of wood and tile and exquisite lighting. It looks like a place that would be featured in an architectural magazine or win design awards. The parking area was very convenient.

Do remember to check the opening hours of the restaurants. Some close early.

In all, we hope guests can keep the tranquility of the neighborhood so that everyone gets to enjoy the...

I cannot rave about this place enough, it was absolutely perfect. The service was phenomenal — when we were checking in she helped us make dinner reservations for both evenings and even booked us a private boat tour to pick us up at our boat house terrace. The private sauna, onsen, and little balcony off the primary bedroom were a perfect start and end to our days staying at the inn.

The ONLY thing I think this place needed was a few chairs on the boat terrace. The weather was perfect and we wanted to hang out there. There is a ledge to lean against the window but chairs would’ve been nice to have.

The location is perfect. We enjoyed walking around the area and into...
