Full Description

Escape the city and immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and timeless culture of northern Kyoto on this full-day guided tour. Departing from Osaka or Kyoto, you’ll journey to Amanohashidate, a breathtaking natural sandbar considered one of Japan’s most iconic scenic views.

Begin the tour with a tranquil visit to Chionji Temple, where you can stroll through elegant temple grounds and admire the impressive wooden gate. Learn about the temple’s connection to academic success and its centuries-old cultural significance.

Then, head to Amanohashidate Bay, where you’ll board a leisurely cruise that glides along the calm waters. From the boat, take in the unique perspective of the pine-covered sandbar stretching across the sea—an iconic scene often referred to as a “Bridge to Heaven.”

Next, take a cable car ride to Kasamatsu Park, a scenic overlook famous for its panoramic views. From this elevated vantage point, the sandbar resembles a dragon flying through the sky. Don’t miss the opportunity for spectacular photos and a peaceful moment above the coastline.

Enjoy a delicious set lunch featuring regional flavors, served at a local restaurant near Amanohashidate. Savor the fresh ingredients and hospitality unique to the area.

The afternoon brings you to the charming rural village of Miyama Kayabuki no Sato. Known for its preserved thatched-roof homes, this quiet countryside settlement offers a rare glimpse into Japan’s rural heritage. Stroll through the village, admire the traditional architecture, and feel as if you’ve stepped back in time.

After a full day of beauty, history, and culture, relax on the return ride to Osaka or Kyoto, with memories of one of Japan’s most scenic and soul-soothing destinations.
