Part of the national park, Amanohashidate is a 3.6-kilometer-long sandbar formed in the sea due to tectonic compression. At its narrowest point, it is only 20 meters wide, with the Japan Sea to the east (Miyazu Bay) and the Aso Sea to the west. True to its name, it acts as a bridge connecting the two shores of Miyazu Bay. The sandbar is adorned with over 8,000 pine trees, forming a continuous stretch. It has been selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 White Sands and Green Pines." Interestingly, despite being surrounded by the sea on both sides, the water beneath the sandbar is freshwater. In the middle of the sandbar, there is an ancient well known as "Isoshimizu," and the water it produces is drinkable. It has been recognized as one of Japan's famous waters, listed among the "100 Famous Waters of Japan.
