Kyoto Amanohashidate・Kasamatsu

Introduction｜Kyoto Amanohashidate・Kasamatsu

Amanohashidate View Land
Miyazu Bay is in the northern part of the Kyoto prefecture. The cause of this special natural landscape is the compression of the earth’s crust. The bay is a sandbar topography formed on the sea and was called “Tango Amanohashidate” by Japanese. It is also called the “Three Views of Japan” together with Aki’s Miyajima (now called Itsukushima) and Mutsushima.
On Wenzhu Mountain, there is an observatory where you can see Amanohashidate, tourists can choose to take a chair lift or a monorail to it. The Amanohashidate seen from the observatory looks like a dragon flying in the sky, so it is also called “Hiryukan”. From here, you can see the vibrant scenery of Amanohashidate. Besides, there are Ferris wheel and amusement facilities suitable for all ages.

The location of Amanohashidate Sightseeing Boat
The location where tourists can take the sightseeing boat to and from the Amanohashidate Wenzhu area(Chionji Temple, Amanohashidate Station) and Ichinomiya area (Motoise Konojinja Shrine, Kasamatsu Park).You can also rent bicycles here.
