Amanohashidate is a sandbar about 3.6 kilometres long across Miyazu Bay on the Sea of Japan, covered with thousands of pine trees. It is counted as one of the three most scenic views in Japan. Visitors traditionally view it upside down from between their legs at viewpoints on the hills, so that it looks like a bridge to heaven, the meaning of its name.

Kinosaki Onsen is a hot spring town in northern Hyōgo, near the Sea of Japan. Willow trees line a canal crossed by stone bridges through the town. Visitors stroll in yukata robes and wooden sandals between seven public bath houses. The town has been a popular hot spring resort for over 1,300 years.
