The traditional city vibe and elegant historic 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 you’ll find a centuries-old fishing village along Ine Bay, which faces the Sea of Japan. With little intrusion from modern life, it’s like a hidden paradise and is known as the “Venice of Japan.”
