 | | The "bridge" is actually a 3.6-kilometre ribbon of white sand and pine trees slinking its way from Monju to Fuchu across the bay, and the recommended way to view it is from the hillside on either side with your head stuck between your legs. |
 | | Once you're standing upright, you'll find that Amanohashidate and the surrounding attractions of the Tango-hanto are to northern Kyoto-ken what Hakone is to Tokyo - a pleasureland of scenic delights, old temples and shrines and, rare for Japan, good beaches. |
 | | East along the Tango-hanto lies the picturesque fishing hamlet of Ine, while across the bay in Monju, another attractive wooden temple, Chion-ji, stands on the brink of the sandbar, which is a lovely area for a quiet stroll or cycle ride, or lazing on the beach. |
