Amanohashidate
Amanohashidate is also a popular tourist destination, featuring many sightseeing courses that begin at the "Amanohashidate Station" of the Tango Railway. The unique cultural experience known as "knee-squatting" is especially famous, where visitors enjoy the scenery by looking through their legs upside down, creating a stunning, inverted view of the sky and sea, resembling a "bridge to heaven."
Additionally, Amanohashidate appears in mythology, where it is said, according to the legends of the gods Izanagi and Izanami, that it was once a floating bridge connecting heaven and earth. Throughout the year, many events are held, particularly in the summer, such as the "Amanohashidate Flame Bridge" and the "Miyazu Lantern Floating Fireworks Festival," attracting many tourists.
Amanohashidate is a must-visit landmark in Japan. Be sure to experience this place, wrapped in beautiful scenery and deep history and myth.
