Amanohashidate is one of the Three Most Scenic Spots of Japan. It is said that it got its name because it looks like a bridge connecting heaven and earth. Its majestic sandy beach stretches for about 3.6 km in length, with widths ranging from 20 to 170 m. There are about 5,000 pine trees, large and small, growing on the beach.
There are restaurants and souvenir shops around Kaisenkyo Bridge, which connects Amanohashidate to the mainland where Monjudo is located. Enjoy plenty of free time to try Amanohashidate gourmet food, look for souvenirs, or stroll along the pine tree-lined street.
Chionji Temple, located at the entrance to Amanohashidate, is a famous temple dedicated to the Bodhisattva Manjusri, and is known for the proverb "Three heads are better than one." The approach to the temple is lined with picturesque pine trees, and worshippers come to pray for wisdom and good fortune. Many people also visit the temple while sightseeing in Amanohashidate, making it one of the temple's attractions.
The "Ine Funaya Group" is designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. You can enjoy the beautiful and atmospheric scenery of the funaya groups lined up along Ine Bay from the sea. You will also have the opportunity to stroll around this area, which is home to a group of unique houses lined up along the bay. (Depending on traffic and weather conditions on the day, you may only be able to take the sightseeing boat or stroll around.)
