The Funayas

 

The Funaya type houses are the main characteristic of the village of Ine. Their existence dates back to the beginning of the 18th century.

 

Literally translated as "boat houses", they were built to house fishermen and their small boats. These traditional waterfront buildings contain boat garages on the first floor and living areas on the upper floors . Today there are more than 230 funaya on Ine Bay.
