Amanohashidate Travel Guides

Ride the cablecar to Kasamatsu Park — the hillside viewpoint on Amanohashidate's north side where the matanozoki tradition was born — and look through your legs to see the sandbar soar into the sky as a bridge to heaven.

Monju-do Hall enshrines Monju Bosatsu at Chion-ji — one of Japan's three great Monju sites, celebrated for the Chie-no-wa wisdom ring and fan-shaped Suehiro omikuji, at the foot of Amanohashidate.

Climb to Nariai-ji, the 28th temple of the Saigoku Kannon pilgrimage, perched high above Kasamatsu Park with sweeping views over Miyazu Bay and Amanohashidate's famous sandbar.
