I visited to see the view between my legs. You can use either the monorail or the lift. From the observation deck at the top, you can get a great view of the "Hiryukan" scenery, which looks like a dragon soaring into the sky.
It's cold riding the lift in winter even if you're wrapped up in layers, but I recommend taking the lift on the way back so you can look down on Amanohashidate.

If you want to get a good view of the narrow strip of land, you should really go up there. It's an experience and a must to take the chair-lift. However, you probably won't spend much time up there after you are done with all the photo-taking of that ironic scenic view.

Amanohashidate is a unique sight in Japan. An island or land that extends in the middle of the ocean. Located by the sea north of Kyoto.
This place is the second stop on a north Kyoto daytrip with a tour that we booked via Klook.
To see this view we have to take the cable car to the top. After getting off the cable car we can see it. The Japanese say it looks like a dragon flying into the sky. One way to see it is to bend over and look at it from between our thighs. Unfortunately when we went there the weather was not so sunny, it was drizzling.
Quite worth a visit because of its uniqueness.

This view point offers glorious view of the NATURAL BRIDGE. The 3.6 km narrow and long sand walk with 3000 plus pine trees looks like picture postcard. The place can be accessed via monorail or chair lift. The round trip to the view area is ¥850 pp.
We visited the place during our recent Japan visit. It was slightly cloudy day, so the view of the bay though clear but was not too bright. Great place to visit if you are in Kyoto or Osaka.

We were a party of 22 who took chairs or the cabin lift up to the top. Can see the long isthmus that divides the waters so that there is fresh water on one side and salt water on the other. Very nice view.

As is common in tourist facilities in rural areas, loud music was playing all the time here too, so you couldn't hear any of the natural sounds of birds or the wind, making it feel more like an Aeon Mall, which was disappointing.
Also, even on weekdays there are long queues for the lifts, but perhaps for profitability reasons they deliberately didn't operate the cable car. As a result, you should allow an hour for a round trip to the park, even on weekdays.
I hope they follow the example of Kasamatsu Park, which is customer-oriented.

Was wet and windy on the day we visited, so had to take the monorail up. Fom there you can get a good view of the surrounding bay, not really a big deal though or maybe it was the weather. Coming down took their single seat lift, that was more fun. There is a temple at the site too and probably you can hike further up the hill.

Amanohashidate View Land and Kasamatsu Park are two parks at the top of the mountains on two ends of the Amanohashidate sand bar. Both will give you a good top view of the sand bar/ land bridge, and both have a funicular cable car and chair lifts to go up. So what are the differences?
1) Amanohashidate View Land's better for day trippers because...
If you are here only for a day tour and only want to visit one peak, View Land is definitely better because it is close to the train station, which is only a short 5-minute walk away. Most hotels are also on this side of the Amanohashidate land bridge. If you have young children, Amanohashidate View Land also has a mini theme park of about 5 rides? The usual carousel, mini train, small playground, etc. But the ferris wheel will be worth it for adults too since you get the, "floating above everything!" experience, especially with the cool draft wind blowing at you. They also have a elevated walk-around bridge which you can climb on to enjoy a better view.
2) Kasamatsu Park is better if you want the boat ride, too
We were at Amanohashidate for two nights, and wanted to have an relaxing schedule to thoroughly enjoy the beach and the bay, so it made sense for us to visit Kasamatsu Park too since it's on the other side of the bay. There is a round trip boat ride and Kasamatsu Park package ticket, as shown in the map-cum-brochure I uploaded here. We opted to take a bus over instead, as we also wanted to visit Ine No Funaya, the floating boat houses of Ine, just slightly north of Kasamatsu Park. Although there's nothing much to do on Kasamatsu Park except a gift shop and a snack shop, they said it is more beautiful during cherry blossom as they have a whole stretch of cherry trees. We didn't witness that when we visited in May, but it's possible in March-April!

It was like being in heaven, definetly a sight to see. After climbing all the way up and seeing the incredible scenery, we went down stopped for a while at the beach, I must say I never swam in such a beautiful place before, I totally recommend it if you're going in the summer.

Worth the 2 hour trip from Kyoto. Wish we had planned a longer time as there's more than we expected to see there! You can actually take a boat or cycle down to the other side where there are even more sights!
