Japan: AmanoHashidate Experience, Kyoto
While you can do this DIY, it's a lot more comfortable, efficient, and budget-friendly to join a group tour. I don't have a record of which tour package we got but the current package prices range from 2,300 PHP to 5,000 PHP per person depending on the itinerary.

Amanohashidate (天橋立) means "the bridge to heaven" or "bridge to the sky". It refers to a scenic 3.6-kilometer (2.1-mile) long sandbar, covered with thousands of pine trees, that crosses Miyazu Bay in northern Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Source: Google
From the parking, you are to walk for several minutes to get to the lower station of the Amanohasidate monorail or chairlift. Our tour included all the entrances, lunch, and chairlift ride so we didn't need to pay for anything apart from the souvenirs we bought and snacks from rest stops.
It wasn't wiggly or anything, it also wasn't too fast so you can just relax and sit until you reach the upper station.
If you find the chairlift scary, there's a monorail you can ride as well.
The sandbar is one of Japan's three most scenic views, and its unique appearance inspires the name - Bridge to Heaven/ Amanohashidate.
This observatory is atop Mt. Monju.
I tried looking many times but I was never able to imagine the flying dragon. Nonetheless, this place was the most beautiful place we visited during that trip. It felt amazing to see this natural bridge/sand bar with pine trees in person.
