3 Best Views of Japan: Amanohashidate (Amanohashidate Sand Dunes) For those who plan to visit Kyoto for 1 day, I recommend Amanohashidate. It's a bit far from Kyoto city, but the view is very beautiful. It's worth it!🧡 ⛰️There are 2 sides to go up to see the view.⛰️ The one we went to was Amanohashidate Viewland. We had to do the pose of 股のぞき (which is the pose where you look between your legs). We will see that it looks like a dragon is flying in the sky! (飛龍観) The other side is Amanohashidate Kasamatsu Park. If we do the pose of 股のぞき (which is the pose where you look between your legs), we will see that it looks like a dragon is flying up in the sky! (昇龍観) We didn't go to this part. It's a pity that we didn't have enough time. But if anyone has time, you can walk there. It should take about 30 minutes. Or you can ride a bicycle. ---------------------------------------------------- 💴Entrance fee: Free 💴Ski Lift・Monorail (round trip): Adults 1,000 yen, children (elementary school) 500 yen 🚃Transportation: There are several ways to get there. The recommended ones are: ① Hashidate Limited Express Train (Kyoto Tango Railway): You can board at Kyoto Station and get off at Amanohashidate Station. It takes about 2 hours to get there. However, be careful about the bus schedule, as there are not many buses per day. ② Tankai Express Bus: You can board at several bus stops. The first bus stop is at Kyoto Station. You can take this bus and get off at Amanohashidate. You also have to be careful about the schedule, as there are not many buses per day. (We missed the Hashidate Limited Express Train, so we had to choose to take the Tankai Express Bus instead.) After enjoying the view, You can walk to Chionji Temple to worship. I got to draw fortune sticks from a cute cat. #TravelJapan#TravelPlan#NatureTouristAttraction#trip #amanohashidate #KyotoTrip

Amanohashidate is a 3.6-kilometer-long natural sandbar that is incredibly beautiful. It has a history spanning thousands of years and was mentioned in ancient poems as early as 1020. At the observation deck, there are rides where you can ride and enjoy the view, such as a sightseeing bike and a Ferris wheel. To get there, take the Amino bus Tantetsu Miyamai-Miyatoyo from Miyazu Station to Amanohashidate Station, which takes 20 minutes. #amanohashidate

Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s three most scenic views, is a breathtaking sandbar covered in pine trees that stretches across Miyazu Bay. Nearby, the fishing village of Ine is famous for its unique funaya (boat houses), where homes sit directly on the water’s edge, preserving a centuries-old way of life. Together, these destinations offer a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and coastal charm. I took a day tour from Kyoto to this hidden coastal gem. Here’s the itinerary below Itinerary 🗒️: - Highlight 1: Amanohashidate - Ride on Chair Lift (This is a must do! The view going up and down was so memorable for me.) 🚠 - Highlight 2: Chionji Temple 🛕 - Highlight 3: Ine Funaya 🎣⚓🐟 I would recommend to stay a night or two over there if possible. That’s what I’ll do the next time I visit this place. This place is all about the view! #amanohashidate #inenofunaya #inevillage

A city near Osaka, just 2 hours by bus or car and 3 hours by JR train, you will find a beautiful city like a dream. A 3.6-kilometer-long sandbar that is naturally formed in the middle of Miyazu Bay in Kyoto Prefecture, has become a connection between the two sides of the bay and is a viewpoint that is considered one of the three most beautiful in Japan. The Amanohashidate side is an old community that is now full of tourist attractions and shops. There are many cute souvenirs. There is a beautiful view. Most importantly, the restaurants are very delicious. 🎏🏮 #TravelJapan #TravelJapanByYourself #amanohashidate #kyoto #kyototrip

#chillandthrill Taking the chairlift up to Amanohashidate View Land was an adventure in itself. At the top, the view of the sandbar stretching across the bay was breathtaking. I joined locals in the tradition of bending over to view the scene upside down, which made it look like a bridge to the heavens. The combination of fun and natural beauty made this spot unforgettable. 📍Amanohashidate, Kyoto, Japan #amanohashidate #kyoto #familytravel #kyotobythesea

#chillandthrill Kyoto by the Sea offers a completely different side of Kyoto’s charm. The rugged coastline, dotted with fishing villages and scenic spots, felt like a world away from the bustling city. I savored fresh seafood, explored historic sites, and marveled at the natural beauty of Amanohashidate. It’s a hidden gem that reveals the diverse landscapes of this iconic region. #japantrip #kyoto #amanohashidate #kyotobythesea #travel #thingstodo #naturalwonders #staycation #seascapes #familytravel #myitinerary #daytour

#getgoing2025 Amanohashidate, often called the "Bridge to Heaven," lived up to its name. Walking or cycling along the pine-covered sandbar felt surreal, as if I were suspended between the sea and sky. From the mountaintop view, the sandbar’s dragon-like shape was awe-inspiring. The area’s peaceful ambiance and stunning scenery made it a highlight of my journey through Kyoto’s coastal region. #japantrip #kyoto #amanohashidate #kyotobythesea #scenery #travel #naturalwonders #familytravel #localfood

Amanohashidate is located in the northern part of Kyoto prefecture, and is a 2h bus ride away from Kyoto city. Amanohashidate is a sandbar that connects two sides of Miyazu Bay. The sandbar itself is over 3km long, and is filled with pine trees. You can get a better view of the entire sandbar from View Land, which can be accessed via monorail or chairlift. I personally recommend the chairlift as it’s more exciting and allows for better photo/video-taking. From View Land, you will get a breath-taking view of the sandbar, which makes the ride up very worth its while. Viewed upside down between one’s legs, the sandbar is supposed to look like a dragon. 40 min away from Amanohashidate is the beautiful fishing village of Ine, which I will cover in another post. The day tour I signed up for covered visits to both attractions. #amanohashidate

#Sakura2024 Amanohashidate's small observation and amusement park with a gimmick of riding a bicycle in the sky to see the view. When we came, it happened to be in full bloom. This place was so beautiful that it hurt my heart. We rode a bicycle in the sky into the cherry blossom tunnel and saw the most exclusive view. The cherry blossoms were so close to our faces and eyes. I love it. This is the way before going to the fishing village for everyone. So if you come to this city, come up here. It's a must-visit. How to get there: Get off at Amanohashidate Station.

The sandbar is located in Miyazu Bay in northern #kyoto #japan Viewed from the mountains at either end of the bay, the Amanohashidate Sandbar (which roughly translates to "bridge in heaven") looks like a pathway between heaven and earth. #unforgettableexperiences #happynewyear

I visited Amanohashidate and Ine city. I had lunch at Ine first. The yellow tail fish Sashimi was so good. Very fresh and sweat. It’s my recommendation to eat. The city is also good to taking a walk. You can stop by the cafe named Ine cafe to have a coffee and enjoy the scenery. After that I enjoyed Amanohashidate. You can take cable car or lift to go up and can see the beautiful nature. 📍所在地：Kyoto Ine cafe:Yosa gun Ine cho Hirata 593-1 Amanohashidate: Miyazu city Monju#amanohashidate #アジア旅行 #京都旅行 #春の0円旅

Amanohashidate & Ine Travel Log Today's trip started with excitement because it was the day we were going to experience "One of the Three Best Views of Japan" at Amanohashidate and stop by the old fishing village at Ine. 🚅 Travel to Amanohashidate This morning, we took the Limited Express Hashidate No. 3 from Kyoto, heading to Amanohashidate. The journey took about 2 hours. The train passed through the countryside of Kyoto, gradually changing to a view of mountains alternating with rivers. The atmosphere was peaceful and refreshing. When we arrived at Amanohashidate Station, the air was cool and the sky was clear. We took a bus that stopped in front of Amanohashidate Eki to Ine, a fishing village hidden in nature. 🧭 Ine - Old Fishing Village Arriving at Ine felt like traveling back in time. This small and quiet village was lined with "Funaya" (boat houses) built by the sea. Each house had a lower floor as a ship storage warehouse and an upper floor as a residence. 🗺️ Shichimendou Temple We stopped by Shichimendou Temple, a small temple located on a hill. You can see the view of Ine Village and the vast sea. 🍱 Lunch at Restaurant Bar Nagisa It's lunch time. We choose to go to Alex's restaurant - Restaurant Bar Nagisa, which is located by the sea. The menu we ordered was fresh fish caught from the Sea of ​​Japan, served with hot Japanese rice and miso soup. It was slightly salty and had a fragrant smell of the sea. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and friendly. 🧭 Amanohashidate - The Bridge to Heaven After we were full, we returned to Amanohashidate, our main destination for the day. 🗺️ View Land - The Legendary Viewpoint We chose to go up to View Land, which is a viewpoint where you can see Amanohashidate from the most beautiful angle! When we reached the top, the view in front of us was amazing - the long, winding sandbar that looked like a dragon floating in the middle of the sea, the clear blue sky reflecting on the water like a painting. 🗺️ Take the Chairlift For a full experience, we chose to take the Chairlift down instead of the closed gondola. The atmosphere was great. The cool wind blew gently across our faces. With a natural view that gradually changes from the mountains to the coast 🗺️ Tango-Amanohashidate National Park We walked on the 3.6-kilometer-long Heaven Bridge, lined with pine trees providing shade along the way. While walking, we found a shop selling shrimp crackers, so we bought some and threw them for the seagulls to swoop down and eat from our hands – it was a fun and memorable sight. 🍱 Dinner: Choose a delicious meal before heading back Before heading back, we chose a restaurant for dinner. Kuji Kara Ramen in Amanohashidate – a large bowl of ramen packed with rich flavors, perfect for recharging after a day of walking around. Or if heading back to Kyoto, you can stop by a hot udon shop in front of Kyoto Station or Matsuya Toji Restaurant, which has delicious and inexpensive rice sets. 🚅 Travel back to Kyoto We chose to take the Hashidate No.8 Limited Express at 16:52 from Amanohashidate Station back to Kyoto Station. The view out the window was still as beautiful as ever, ending the trip with great memories. #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #kyototrip #kyoto #ine #amanohashidate

#newyearnewtrip The stunning Amanohashidate Cable Car is located near the famous Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s top scenic spots. This cable car offers a stunning aerial view of the “Heavenly Bridge” (Amanohashidate), which is a long, pine-covered sandbar stretching across the mouth of Miyazu Bay in Kyoto Prefecture. The cable car ride takes visitors up to the top of Mt. Monju, where there’s a platform that provides panoramic views of the sandbar, with its distinctive shape resembling a bridge connecting heaven and earth. The ride is a popular attraction for those wanting to experience one of the best views of Amanohashidate, and the area also features walking trails, a temple, and other scenic spots. In addition to the cable car, there’s also a chairlift and a local bus that offers different ways to explore the area. It’s a serene and beautiful place, perfect for a peaceful getaway or a scenic photo #kyoto #amanohashidate #japan #holiday

You may have heard of Kyoto before, but have you heard of Amanohashidate? Just 2 hours JR ride away from Kyoto, Amanohashidate is actually ranked among Japan's three most scenic views. It is a pine covered sandbar that spans the mouth of Miyazu Bay in the scenic, coastal region of northern Kyoto Prefecture, and the Amanohashidate Sandbar (which roughly translates to "bridge in heaven") looks like a pathway between heaven and earth when viewed upside down. The sea view is superb and it’s a very scenic and peaceful area. Most people I see there were local tourists rather than foreigners - that’s how you know this place is really an underrated gem! I would love to visit the Dragon’s Back in Hong Kong, which is one of the most popular trails that also boasts an impressive coastal view! #winhkflight #amanohashidate #天橋立
