Amanohashidate

Like Matsushima, Amanohashidate is suppose to be one of the three most scenic views of Japan (Miyajima is the last one). I have to admit that of the three this was the one that i was the least impressed with, but to be honest, this was also the one where the weather wasn't good that day and I spent the least amount of time there. Don't get me wrong it is still a beautiful place, but in my opinion the least "scenic" of the famous three.


Anyway, Amanohashidate, which litterly means, "heaven bridge," is about a 5km (3 mile) land bridge that if you view from above from either side, turn around and look between your legs it looks like a bridge going to heaven... or at least it is suppose to look like that. Personally, I don't see it but I have turned a photo upsidedown for you below and you can make your own decision.
