The Experience
Amanohashidate Amanohashidate is one of the ""Three Great Views of Japan. Amanohashidate is a work of natural art created by the Noda River, which originates from Mt. Oe, and the Sea of Japan. Its mystical beauty, white sandy beaches, and green pine forests are truly spectacular. About 8,000 pine trees grow on the sandy beach of the 3.6-km bridge.
Kasamatsu Park Observatory with panoramic view of Amanohashidate. Amanohashidate resembles the Chinese character meaning ""one"". If you turn your back to Amanohashidate and lean forward to view this amazing terrain from between your legs, it looks like a bridge crossing the heavens. In Japanese, this posture is called ""mata-nozoki"" (looking backward).
Ine The boathouses of Ine are located in northern Kyoto Prefecture, in an area known as ""Kyoto by the Sea,"" and have become a popular tourist attraction. Its nostalgic atmosphere is perfect for a leisurely stroll, whether viewed from the top of a small hill, from the town, or from a boat.
Snow Lantern Festival in Miyama Kayabuki no Sato To the north of the city of Kyoto, between the ancient capital and the rugged coastline along the Sea of Japan, stretches a peaceful landscape of small villages and quiet mountains.

At the Snow Lantern Festival, snow covered rooftops are illuminated with lights, creating a wonderful sight.
