▼One of the 'Three Views of Japan' - Amanohashidate Scenic Area (Approx. 2.5 hours, including lunch break, cost not included)
Amanohashidate in Miyazu Bay on the Sea of Japan is one of the special scenic spots referred to as the 'Three Views of Japan,' alongside Matsushima in Mutsu and Miyajima in Aki. Stretching about 3.6 kilometers, it's a sandbar formed by coastal sedimentation, boasting around 8,000 pine trees. White sandy beaches line both sides, creating a unique natural landscape. Its shape resembles a bridge extending towards the sky, hence the name 'Amanohashidate.' Positioned where the Asu Sea and Miyazu Bay of the Sea of Japan meet, it offers not just pristine natural beauty but also an expansive view of the islands.
There's an observation deck on Mount Monju from where Amanohashidate can be viewed. The mountain features a sightseeing car and amusement facilities suitable for all ages. The view of Amanohashidate from here resembles a flying dragon heading to the sky, thus named the 'Flying Dragon View,' offering a dynamic view of Amanohashidate. (Cable car ticket cost: Amanohashidate Scenic Area Cable Car/Single Railcar Pass 850 Japanese Yen)
Chionji Temple - Bunshudo (Temple for Academic Prayers)
Chionji enshrines the Seishi Bodhisattva, the deity of wisdom, akin to the Chinese God of Culture. Chionji boasts the largest mountain gate in the Tango region. What makes it unique is the fan-shaped fortune papers. When hung upside down, the fan paper gradually changes from narrow to wide, signifying progress. Nearby is the rotating bridge, connecting Amanohashidate and Bunshudo on land. It rotates 90 degrees to allow passage for large vessels (non-scheduled). (Free admission)
Stroll or enjoy the seaside Amanohashidate's sandbar boasts
Amanohashidate's sandbar boasts white sandy beaches on both sides. The fine, soft sand offers an enjoyable walk amidst the pine forests, appreciating various types and shapes of pine trees. Midway on Amanohashidate stands the Amanohashidate Shrine, a good place to pray for love. There's also an ancient well called 'Iwakura-Izumi,' listed as one of Japan's renowned springs. Remember to cleanse your hands before offering prayers. During summer, it operates as a beach area with no entry fee, offering changing rooms, lifeguards, and coin-operated showers. The beach's pine trees create natural umbrellas.
