It is a sandbar about 3.6 kilometers long, formed by the deposition of the coast. About 8,000 pine trees of various sizes are planted, and white sand beaches stretch on both the east and west sides. 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.
