Top 3 Amanohashidate Hotels With Best Views of Japan's Famous Sightseeing Spot!

Last updated: 4 February 2021

Plenty of Amanohashidate hotels have rooms (and even baths!) with a spectacular view of the surrounding scenery.

Amanohashinodate, on the Miyazu Bay in the northern section of Kyoto, is a thin beach about 20-170 meters wide that stretches out 3.6 kilometers. Its unique shape and the 8000 pine trees that line its surface make it one of the three great sights of Japan.

Here, we'll take a look at three recommended Amanohashidate hotels with the panoramic views you'd expect from top-class accommodations.

As one of the Amanohashidate hotels across from the bay, Hotel and Resort Kyoto Miyazu stands atop a wide-open highland with a perfect side-view of the famous sightseeing spot.

The lush, green garden has a pool for swimming and relaxing in summer, all while enjoying the Miyazu Bay scenery. The hotel sells souvenirs and sponsors seasonal events, such as strawberry picking. And don't worry, its international cast of staff members provide helpful support. (Please inquire regarding international staff shifts)

The large, stylish guest rooms at this Amanohashidate hotel also impress. The standard twin room is a broad 36 square meters, and the beds are very relaxing semi-double sizes. Hotel and Resort Kyoto Miyazu boasts a variety of rooms: 4-person family rooms that include tatami-floored spaces, suite rooms, pair suite rooms, and more.

Outdoor-themed Rock Bath

You can take your baths in the in-house hot spring. The outdoor bath space uses water fresh from Yura beach, and the footbath on the observation deck with a view of the scenery is a must-try.

There's also a large indoor bath as well as a sauna, so this is where you want to go to get in that valuable relaxation time.

Amanohashidate Hotel is only a minute's walk from Kyoto Tango Railway's Amanohashidate Station, and as the name suggests, it has a clear view of the whole strip. Not only from the guest rooms, either - you can see it from the hot springs, from the footbaths by the coast, and multiple other locations.

There are souvenir shops to peruse and karaoke booths to enjoy, and the signs in the hotel have English on them.

The hotel's natural hot spring, Amanohashidate Onsen, has 13 bathing facilities to be enjoyed depending on the day and time.

The outdoor baths, Amatesu and Tsukuyomi, are named after the mythical Japanese deities Amaterasu Omikami and Tsukuyomi no Mikoto and have a view of Amanohashidate.

The large common bath has many variations within, including a lying bath, a sitting bath, a leaning bath, a sauna, a steam bath, and more. Non-guest visitors can also use the Nakatsukuni Footbath for free, so if you're in the area during a walk, give it a try!

Japanese cuisine that changes with the seasons!

The food, emblematic of Tango's seasons, is as luxurious as can be. Beautifully presented fresh sashimi, beef teppanyaki, small nabe, the works. There's also crab to enjoy when winter comes.

And if it’s western food you’re after, you can visit the Auberge Amanohashidate, the adjacent hotel, and go to their French restaurant on the ground floor.

The shared common bath is expansive. While there are indoor baths, this facility has a unique garden bath, with a full view of the trees surrounding the hotel.

We recommend the rental outdoor baths for families and couples (paid, reservation needed) - they provide an amazing view of the scenery from refreshing hot waters. Enjoy them to your heart's content and find out why their baths were picked as one of Japan's top 100 hot springs.

There's a perfect spot for watching the sun rise over Amanohashidate within walking distance from the hotel, as well. While you can enjoy the sight from your room, we have to recommend taking a morning walk. The sight is well worth waking up early, and this hotel truly makes you look forward to the next morning!
