Begin your journey at Ine Fishing Village, one of Japan's most beautiful and peaceful coastal destinations.

Seagulls often fly alongside the boat, creating wonderful opportunities for photos and a memorable experience.

Next, head to Amanohashidate, celebrated as one of Japan's Three Scenic Views and renowned for its stunning natural beauty. The famous pine-covered sandbar stretches gracefully across Miyazu Bay, creating a landscape that resembles a bridge connecting heaven and earth. Walk along the beach, enjoy local cafés and shops, admire the peaceful surroundings, or simply relax while taking in the breathtaking coastal scenery.

Then, take the Amanohashidate Chairlift and Monorail to Kasamatsu Park, one of the area's most famous viewpoints. The open-air chairlift allows you to enjoy refreshing mountain air and panoramic views during the ride, while the monorail offers a comfortable alternative. From the summit, admire the iconic sandbar from above and capture unforgettable photographs of one of Japan's most celebrated landscapes.

Continue to Amanohashidate Viewland, a popular observation park offering incredible panoramic views of the famous sandbar. From its elevated location, enjoy the legendary "Bridge to Heaven" perspective by viewing the scenery upside down between your legs, a traditional local custom believed to make the landscape resemble a bridge floating in the sky. The park also features family-friendly attractions, walking paths, cafés, and beautiful viewpoints, making it an enjoyable stop for travelers of all ages.

Next, visit Kaisen Bridge, a charming rotating bridge that connects the Amanohashidate sandbar with the surrounding area.
