[Kyoto] Walking from Chionji Temple through Japan's Three Most Scenic Views: The "Road to Heaven" Connecting Mythology and Spectacular Scenery

If you're walking around Amanohashidate, a scenic spot in Miyazu, Kyoto, we recommend starting at Chion-ji Temple, known for its Monju, the god of wisdom!

About a five-minute walk from Amanohashidate Station, this ancient temple, marked by its vermilion-lacquered three-story pagoda and the Kirido Monjudo Hall, is a popular spot said to grant wisdom.


After visiting Chion-ji Temple, head to nearby Amanohashidate Park. The 3.6km road lined with pine trees and white sand and green pines truly resembles a "bridge to heaven." Enjoy a leisurely stroll while feeling the sea breeze, or rent a bicycle and ride the wind! Along the way, you'll find famous sites connected to myths and legends, such as Amanohashidate Shrine and Isoshimizu Spring.



From the park's viewpoints, you can enjoy panoramic views of the beautiful curves of the pine trees hugging the waves. The contrast between the tranquil sea and the greenery will make you feel as if you've been transported to a world of myth.
