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 out on both the east and west sides. It is a special natural landscape. It is called "Amanohashidate" because it has a shape like a bridge stretching diagonally towards the sky. There is an observation deck on Mount Monju from which Amanohashidate can be seen. The mountain has a Ferris wheel and recreational facilities suitable for all ages. The view of Amanohashidate from here is called "Flying Dragon View" because it looks like a dragon flying in the sky. From here you can enjoy the vivid scenery of Amanohashidate.

Even today, people coexist with the sea in front of them. The clear and beautiful sea, the deep green mountains, the ever-changing colors of the sky, and the colors of the boathouses that represent Japan. These are the pure colors of nature that can only be experienced in Ine Town. The fishing village along the coast is away from the hustle and bustle and is full of simple innocence. You can experience a 25-minute cruise around Ine Bay at your own expense and even feed the seagulls. (Boats depart every hour, every 30 minutes.
