Due to the pushing of the earth's crust, a sandbar about 3.6 kilometers long was formed on the sea, with more than 8,000 pine trees on it. Amanohashidate means "bridge of heaven" because when you look down from the mountains on both sides of the sandbar, it looks like a passage connecting heaven and earth. On the other side of the bay is Kasamatsu Park, which can be reached by cable car. For more than a thousand years, in order to enjoy the beautiful bay view, locals have been using the same posture, that is, bending down and looking upside down between their legs to enjoy the scenery. The sandbar is like a giant dragon rising into the sky. ▴[Miyama]Famous for its traditional Japanese thatched roof farmhouses.
