The traditional city vibe and elegant, classic architecture of Kyoto, Japan, attract travelers from all over the world. If you prefer to avoid crowded tourist spots, head to Ine-cho in northeastern Kyoto, where there’s a centuries-old fishing village along the Ine Bay facing the Sea of Japan. With minimal intrusion from modern life, it exists like a paradise on earth and is known as the “Venice of Japan.”
