Kyoto Prefecture · City

Miyazu City is in the southeast of the Tango Peninsula, facing Miyazu Bay, and Amanohashidate, one of Japan's three most scenic views, links the north and south parts of the city. Old temples and shrines line up here, such as Nariai-ji Temple overlooking Amanohashidate, Kono Shrine, the most important shrine of Tango, and Chion-ji Temple. The castle-town streets and the Catholic Miyazu Church also remain.
