Amanohashidate, which means "sky bridge" in Japanese, is a famous scenic spot in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, and one of the "Three Great Views of Japan". It's a sandy spit extending into Miyazu Bay, resembling a bridge connecting the sky and the sea. It's known for its stunning views, particularly when viewed from vantage points like Kasamatsu Park. 

The name "Amanohashidate" literally translates to "sky bridge," reflecting the natural formation's resemblance to a bridge spanning the ocean. 

It's located in Miyazu Bay, Kyoto Prefecture. 

The sandy spit is a natural formation, created by the accumulation of sand and sediment. 

A unique way to experience Amanohashidate is by looking at it through your legs, which is a common practice among visitors. This perspective creates an optical illusion, making the scene seem upside down and enhancing the bridge-like appearance. 

Amanohashidate is renowned for its beautiful scenery, especially when viewed from vantage points like Kasamatsu Park, where the view is said to resemble a dragon ascending to the sky.
