Hey travel enthusiasts! Ready for an unforgettable adventure from Osaka or Kyoto? Join me on this full-day trip that perfectly blends natural beauty and unique culture!
Our journey begins with a comfortable ride to Amanohashidate, one of Japan's top three scenic views. This stunning 3.6 km sandbar is adorned with 8,000 pine trees and surrounded by the serene Japan Sea and Amanohashidate Bay. The name “Amanohashidate” means Heaven's Bridge, and you'll see why as you take in the breathtaking landscape.
Don't miss the chance to ride the cable car up Mt. Monju for a spectacular view from the observation deck (optional). From here, Amanohashidate looks like a dragon soaring into the sky, earning it the nickname “View of the Flying Dragon.” Perfect for a jaw-dropping photo op!
Next stop: Chionji Temple, renowned for academic success. Check out the impressive temple gate and try the unique fan-shaped omikuji (fortune-telling paper). For a bit of fun, watch the revolving bridge that connects Amanohashidate and Bussharado rotate to let large ships pass.
Ready for some relaxation? Head to Amanohashidate Hot Springs and soak in the natural spring waters with a stunning view. Don't forget to try the free outdoor foot bath—pure bliss!
Our final destination is the enchanting Ine Boathouses. This quaint fishing village is famous for its traditional boat-house architecture. Stroll around, rent a bike, or even feed seagulls by boat while soaking in the picturesque coastal scenery.
