Amanohashidate

As a last trip before Mike left we went to Amanohashidate, one of the Three Views of Japan. Amanohashidate is a pine tree covered sandbar that passes connects the north and south sides of a bay of the Japan sea.
The customary way to view the bay is to take a cable car up a hill on either side of the bay then turn your back to the water and look at it through your legs so it appears upside down. Platforms are arranged expressly for this purpose and it seamed that no one could resist trying it.
