Amanohashidate Holidays
Amanohashidate, often referred to as one of Japan's "Three Views," is a stunning coastal destination located in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture. The area is renowned for its picturesque landscape featuring a 3.6-kilometre sandbar lined with over 7,000 pine trees, stretching across the mouth of Miyazu Bay. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the sandbar from the Amanohashidate View Land or by taking a boat cruise around the bay. Nature lovers will find plenty of hiking opportunities in the surrounding mountains, while those looking for a more leisurely experience can take a cable car or chairlift for an aerial view of the famous sandbar.
Amanohashidate also offers cultural attractions such as the ancient Chion-ji Temple, which houses a statue of the Goddess of Mercy, and the nearby Kasamatsu Park, where visitors can enjoy scenic walks. The area is also a great destination for seafood lovers, with fresh catches available at local markets and restaurants, including Miyazu's famous crab dishes.
