Kumihama Station

Kumihama Station in Kyotango City sits at the northernmost part of Kyoto Prefecture, facing the scenic Kumihama Bay. It is a key base for the Kyoto by the Sea area, known for fresh crab, oysters, and coastal landscapes.
The station’s tourist information center provides area tips, lodging recommendations, local specialties, souvenirs, and bicycle rentals.
Access to major spots includes Amanohashidate in about 50 minutes by limited express or 1.5 hours by local train, and Ine Funaya boat houses, accessible in about 50 minutes by bus from Amanohashidate Station. The Ine Bay Sightseeing Ferry is a popular way to see the boathouses from the water.
For wide-area travel, the Kyoto by the Sea Amanohashidate Ine Pass (1-Day/2-Day), which covers unlimited rides on designated zones of the Kyoto Tango Railway, buses around Amanohashidate and Ine, sightseeing boats, and cable cars, is a convenient and cost-effective option.
