The Egan Bay is calm and picturesque all year round, and it is precisely because of this kind of care. Egan Bay has created the most unique and charming fishing village in Japan. The houses here are all built on the coast. On the first floor, there are small docks for ships and the handling of fish and equipment. The second floor is for the home. The locals have the saying that the first floor door opens to the sea and the second floor door opens to the wife. Such a building is called "boat house", a total of more than 230 rooms, and it continues the manner of the end of the Edo period to the early days of the Showa era. Its style structure is unique in Japan. (If the fishing villages in other places are built like this, they will often be overturned by the waves.) .
The whole village of Egan, from the sea, looks like a floating town, so there is the saying of "Venice" in Japan. Mr. Liang Sicheng said that the most beautiful art is architecture, because it lasts for a long time, and it is closely related to the people's life, clothing, food and shelter. It is a great collection of other art. Therefore, Egan was selected as a preserved area of important traditional buildings in 2005 and was awarded the title of the most beautiful country in Japan.

Exploring Ine Town: A Seaside Time with Seagulls and Eagles
The beautiful and tranquil fishing village of Ine Town is located on the Tango Peninsula in northern Kyoto. The houses here are built along the mountains and water, seemingly floating on the blue-green waters of Ine Bay, stretching out like a painting. The simplicity and beauty of the village have made it one of Japan's 18 most beautiful villages.
We came here with high expectations, and one special activity is feeding the seagulls and eagles. As the boat leaves the harbor, flocks of seagulls and eagles immediately gather, fearlessly circling around the boat. When tourists throw shrimp crackers, the birds swiftly dive and catch the treats with agility, creating a lively and amusing scene.
In this peaceful fishing village, it feels as if time has slowed down, and this intimate interaction with nature makes for a wonderful travel experience.
