Located in the northern part of Kyoto, Amanohashidate is rated as one of the top three most scenic spots in Japan. With groves of pine trees growing on a 3.6-km-long sandbar, it offers a unique vision of natural beauty. Viewed from the mountains at either end of the bay, the sandbar of Amanohashidate, the \u2018bridge to heaven\u2019, resembles a mythical, meandering pathway between earth and heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The area is revered for its ancient, strangely shaped pine trees, many of which have their own names including Meoto Matsu<\/em> (Couples Pine), Nakayoshi no Matsu<\/em> (Friendly Pine), and Chie no Matsu<\/em> (Wisdom Pine). Amanohashidate is best seen from the parks in the hills on either side of the bay; Amanohashidate View Land on the south side of the sandbar provides one of the best views as the sandbar is said to resemble a dragon flying up to heaven from this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folding Fan Fortunes
<\/strong>Chionji Temple is visited by people from all over Japan; it has a unique custom, Folding Fan Fortunes, where little sensu or folding fans are hung on the temple\u2019s pine trees for luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
