Description

Miyazu Bay, Miyazu City, located in northern Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, has a special natural scenery. Due to tectonic shifts, a sandbar topography was formed in the sea, and in Japan it is called Tango's Amanohashidate, and along with Aki's Miyajima (currently Itsukushima) and Mutsu's Matsushima, it is called one of the "Three Scenic Views of Japan."The name Amanohashidate comes from the fact that if you turn your back on the sandbar from the two hills of Kasamatsu Park, located at the northern end of the sandbar, and Hiryukan, located at the southern end, and look back with your head between your legs, the sandbar appears to be stretching diagonally toward the sky.There is an observatory on Mt. Monju that overlooks Amanohashidate, and on top of the mountain there is a Ferris wheel and attractions that people of all ages can enjoy. Amanohashidate seen from there is called "Hiryukan" because it looks like a dragon dancing in the sky, and you can see the vivid scenery of Amanohashidate. You can take the lift or monorail to the observation deck.
