MUST SEE - Look out spot, Kasamatsu park (傘松公園)
http://www.amano-hashidate.com/043footwork.html
This is the place where you see the "bridge to heaven" view which means "Amanohashidate" in Japanese. Never say you visited Amanohashidate without seeing this view from Kasamatsu park. After arriving at Kasamatsu park, enjoy view from the park and after that, climb up stairs for about 5mins which is another view point. Then I recommend to visit Nariai-ji Temple after that.
If you have a luggage which bother you travel freely, you can use a coin locker or luggage storage service at Kasamatsu Park(only cost about 100yen-200yen). English-speaking staff available!| OPEN | CLOSE | |||

☆By bus, from Amanohashidate station(天橋立駅) take a bus towards "Ine or Kamanyu or Kyougamisaki(伊根・蒲入・経ヶ岬)" and get off at "Kasamatsu-keburu-shita(傘松ケーブル下)". Bus fare:400JPY(single) Then walk about 2mins(160m), walk towards traffic lights and turn left and go up an alley with souvenier shops. Then take a cable car or chair-lift. You can reach to the park by a chair-lift(6mins) or a cable car(4mins).
☆On foot, from Amanohashidate station, walk through Amanohashidate itself(about 1hour with relaxing pace) and take a left when you arrive at crossroad then you will see boat pier and turn right then you will see the sign of Kasamatsu park. And take a cable car or chair-lift.
☆By bicycle, from Amanohashidate station about 20mins, the same route to the walking.
☆By boat, from Amanohashidate station, walk to Amanohashidate pier(about 5mins) and take a sightseeing boat to Ichinomiya pier. And go straight and you can see the sign of Kasamatsu park. Then take a cable car or chair-lift.
Boat fare: 530JPY(single)
Cable car or Chair-lift : 660JPY(Round trip)
**The ticket is common ticket for cable car and chair-lift, so what I recommend the most is, take a cable car for going up and take a chair-lift for going down.
*Instead of taking a cable car or lift, you can reach to the park about 20mins walk from Fuchu station. But this path has lots of trees that can be fall down anytime, when it's rains flash flood can be occurred, so it is your responsibility to use this path. Also I personally think going up this path is not enjoyable due to you cannot see any views and worth to pay for the ride(cable car or chair-lift).
Boathouses in Ine, Ine-no-Funaya(伊根の舟屋)
About 230 boathouses exisits in Ine area.
Among many fishing villages in Japan, this is the first place chosen by the Japanese government as Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings.
The village is about 5km long and if you walk non-stop, it takes about 1hr(in my case). Usually people start sightseeing from "Inewan-meguri-Hide(伊根湾めぐり・日出)" bus stop. From there you can take a sightseeing boat. Please check the following link about the boat. Ine bay sightseeing boat

Toriki(鳥喜)- Japanese style inn(Ryokan) with high quality Japanese cuisine+hot spring(Onsen)
This Japanese style inn has 6 rooms and it is suitable for you if you are looking for real taste of Japanese local fish cuisine (Kaiseki ryouri 懐石料理)!!
Even they have a hot spring bath inside of the inn as well. I think they have competitive price for what they offer and much worth than some fancy pricy big inns around this area especially about the meals you get(Well, if you put importance in the view from room, those fancy inns win).
I recommend you to book accommodation with 2meals due to Amanohashidate area hardly have restaurants open during the night and the morning.
This inn located only 2mins walk from Amanohashidate station(天橋立駅).
You can book online from here, Rakuten travel. (in English)

You can also reserve your seat by calling this number 0772-42-0338, if you calling from foreign phone +81 772 42 0338. (perhaps they can't speak English.....)
If you make reservation through phone, you need to pay by cash on the board and make sure you have exact amount of money.

Each seat has number and driver will tell you before you get on the bus so please make sure to sit on the correct number seat. When you get on the bus, you need to show your printed out ticket or smartphone(iphone) screen of your booking to the driver. Your ticket will be send to your email address on the day before your departure day.
Access to the bus terminal:
Please see the map below. On the map, the terminal is located on "I-6" and you can see a symbol of express bus(bus with pink background).

From JR Osaka station, it takes about 5mins for me although for someone who don't know the area, perhaps better to have about 20mins. Also I recommend you to go to toilet before you go to the terminal because there is only Japanese style toilet and also small with stairs(I went there in 2014 so can be changed).
