Amanohashidate is best viewed from the hills at either end of the spit, so I walked across the spit and took the funicular railway up the hill; this photograph is taken from the top station.

My memories of Amanohashidate will, I'm sure, be forever tainted with the image of a long, long flight of steps.

I knew that the final train down the hill was at 4.30, but I'd asked when I bought my ticket whether it was possible to walk down the hill (we're not talking about a big hike), and was told that there was indeed a path.
