It is a special natural landscape. It is called "Amanohashidate" because it looks like a bridge stretching diagonally towards the sky. On Mount Monju, there is an observation deck from which you can see Amanohashidate. The mountain has a Ferris wheel and recreational facilities suitable for all ages. From here, Amanohashidate looks like a dragon flying in the sky, so it is called "Flying Dragon View". From here, you can see the vivid scenery of Amanohashidate.
