Amanohashidate View Land Guide

Reach for the Sky: Panoramic Views of Amanohashidate Guide

Amanohashidate View Land offers a unique and playful perspective on one of Japan's Three Most Scenic Views. Instead of admiring the sandbar from ground level, here you'll ascend to a hilltop amusement park, where you can view Amanohashidate upside down through your legs ("matanozoki"), making it appear as if a dragon is soaring into the heavens. It's a fun and memorable way to experience this natural wonder. While not steeped in historical significance like some other sites in the area, Amanohashidate View Land's appeal lies in its modern interpretation of appreciating the landscape. The "matanozoki" viewing method has become a popular tradition, adding a touch of whimsy to the experience. The park itself was developed to provide visitors with the best possible vantage point for this unique perspective. Beyond the iconic upside-down view, Amanohashidate View Land offers a variety of activities. Enjoy thrilling rides like the cycle car, Ferris wheel, and go-karts, all while taking in the breathtaking scenery. There are also restaurants and shops where you can relax and enjoy local snacks and souvenirs. Don't forget to try the "kawara nage," where you throw small clay discs towards a target for good luck.
