Pop Japan

Amanohashidate is a 3.6 km sandbar planted with more or less 8,000 pine trees that stretches across Miyazu Bay.

It is considered as one of the three most beautiful views in Japan, with Miyajima and Matsushima. The name Amanohashidate literally translates to "bridge linking earth and heaven."

You can cross it on foot, or with a bicycle. It has only one beach with lifeguard surveillance located at the far south on the Amanohashidate station, where you can stop over.

It is recommended to observe the beauty of the place by ascending Mount Nariai as far as Kazamatsu Park via cable car. To get another perspective, view the scenery by placing your head between your knees, it seems to be hovering the earth and heavens.
