Amanohashidate - One of the Three Most Scenic Spots in Japan. Power Spots and Popular Tourist Attractions Around Amanohashidate to Make Your Trip to Kyoto 110% Fun!
Amanohashidate - One of the Three Most Scenic Spots in Japan
This video, titled JG☆☆☆☆☆4K HDR Kyoto, Amanohashidate (Special Scenic Beauty)" (JG☆☆☆☆☆4K HDR 京都 天橋立(特別名勝)), created by “JAPAN GEOGRAPHIC” is a promotional video that introduces “Amanohashidate,” a sandbar in Miyazu Bay (宮津湾, Miyazuwan), Tango, on the Sea of Japan, in northern Kyoto, as well as nearby sightseeing spots.
Along with “Mutsunomatsushima” in Miyagi and “Akinomiyajima” in Hiroshima, “Amanohashidate” located in Miyazu, Kyoto is listed as one of the "Three Views of Japan," attracting many tourists with its mystical scenery.
Located about two hours from Kyoto Station by train, Amanohashidate is an area where you can enjoy spectacular natural landscapes, historical sites, and mysterious power spots, which are quite different from sightseeing in downtown Kyoto.
It is said that from about 7 to 8,000 years ago, the sand from rivers was deposited in an almost straight line due to collisions of ocean currents, and then an earthquake 2-3,000 years ago caused the accumulated sand to appear on the sea, and has continued to grow even to this day.
It took thousands of years to create Amanohashidate as we know it today.
You can see the mysterious and beautiful scenery that nature has created in 4K.
Other sightseeing spots around it are introduced as well.
There are so many spots to see around Amanohashidate!
Two Observatories Where You Can Try “Matanozoki” at Amanohashidate
Amanohashidate, with its sandy pine tree and spit
beaches, is 20-170m wide and 3.6 km long, and is called "Amanohashidate" because of its slender, bridge-like appearance from the sky (The kanji roughly translates to "heavenly bridge").
Amanohashidate can be seen from the observatories at Amanohashidate View Land and Amanohashidate Kasamatsu Park.
If you try “Matanozoki” (looking at Amanohashidate from between your legs upside down), you'll have to face away from Amanohashidate to see it.
This makes the sky and the ground upside down and it looks like a bridge in the sky when viewed from “Kasamatsu Park” in the north, and it looks like a dragon flying in the sky when you look at it from “Amanohashidate View Land” in the south.
At Kasamatsu Park, you can climb up to the observatory using a lift or cable car while looking at the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms in spring. You can also enjoy seasonal flowers, such as hydrangea and beautiful autumn leaves.
The top of the mountain where Amanohashidate View Land is located, can be reached by a lift, a ropeway and a cable car.
On top of the mountain, there is a facility that even children can enjoy, with a ferris wheel and go-carts.
You can see the ride to the top and a view of Amanohashidate at 0:28 in the video.
Don't forget to bring your camera if you go!
