View Amanohashidate from the observation deck famous for the "View Between the Legs"

About this spot

Located on the south side of Amanohashidate, this observation spot pairs with Kasama Matsu Park. You can reach the hilltop by lift or monorail. The observation deck is famous as the spot for the "View Between the Legs" - where bending over and viewing through your legs makes the sandbar look like a bridge stretching to heaven. The observation deck also features a playground area with attractions for children, making it a family-friendly spot offering both scenic views and entertainment. Viewing Amanohashidate from above gives you a better sense of the sandbar's impressive scale.

Tips

You can reach the observation deck by lift or monorail from the Monju area. A round-trip ticket is convenient. The observation deck has little shade, so bringing a hat is recommended.
