The local experience
A sandbar about 3.6 km long, covered by thousands of pine trees, that crosses Miyazu Bay and is one of Japan’s three classic views, with Chion‑ji Temple and a swing bridge on the south side.
Viewpoint on the north slope of Miyazu Bay, reached by cable car or chairlift, from which you see Amanohashidate facing backward, between your legs, and at the foot of which is Kono Shrine, one of the region’s oldest.
A Buddhist temple on Mount Nariai above Amanohashidate, a stop on the Saigoku 33 Kannon pilgrimage in western Japan, with a five-story pagoda and the highest viewpoint over the bay.
