One of Japan’s three scenic spots

“Amanohashidate” in Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture is a sandbar with a total length of 3.6 km, separated by Miyazu Bay and Aso Sea. It is said that alongside Matsushima and Miyajima, it is one of Japan’s three scenic spots. Since ancient times, it is known as a scenic spot and is one of the most scenic areas in the country selected as a special scenic spot of the country and an important cultural landscape of Japan. Every year many tourists visit, and everyone who visits visitors are deprived of their beauty. Amanohashidate is a place that fascinates sight which can only be seen here; it is a spot where everyone is satisfied.
Many people are fascinated by the beauty that nature created over the years. Amanohashidate is sandy with a total length of about 3.6 kilometers and a width of about 20 meters to 170 meters. Over 8,000 pine trees are lively, and the exquisite contrast with the ocean shows a magnificent view. In addition to multiple scenic points, you can explore slowly with your own feet, use boats and bicycles, enjoy swimming, there are a variety of ways to enjoy.
If you are walking slowly while taking a refreshing wind and leaking trees in the pine forest, you will be healed by green, and the daily fatigue will be blown away as well. You can also meet pine trees with a strange shape or touch on names and commentaries attached to the pine. On the way, you can go out to the beach, visit the shrine, and discover many things. While walking on the boardwalk, you can cross the Kuroomatsu forest and cross the other side. As it takes about an hour, returning to the pleasure boat and returning while looking at Amanohashidate from the side is good.
Kasamatsu Park is a park in the middle of the mountain of Nariai, a spot where you can see Amanohashidate from the north side opposite “Amanohashidate Viewland.” From Kasamatsu park, you can enjoy the view called “Shoryukan” (rising dragon), where Amanohashidate rises and looks like a dragon.
On the summit of Monju Mountain on the south side of Amanohashidate, the “Amanohashidate Viewland” has an observation platform that can overlook Amanohashidate and a mini-amusement park where children enjoy it. “Matanozoki Viewing” (to view Amanohashidate from between your two legs) is set up on this observatory. Because Amanohashidate looks like a dragon rising in heaven, you can enjoy the view “Hiryukan” (flying dragon). This place is trendy among Amanohashidate’s exquisite scenic spots.
