#ShizuokaTourism A must-visit in Shizuoka is Sumata Gorge! You can cross a suspension bridge over a truly beautiful emerald-colored lake. If you go by car from Shizuoka Station, it takes about 2 hours. If you go by train, take the Oigawa Railway Oigawa Main Line from Shin-Kanaya Station and then a local bus, and it takes about 2 hours. During the tourist season, traffic on the mountain road is one-way, so you should allow about 3 hours. The road is bad and it's difficult to get there, but it's still worth it. It has been discovered that the water of the Sumata River, where the Dream Suspension Bridge is located, is very clean, with very few particles and plankton, all the way to the bottom. When light shines on such water, only blue light with a short wavelength is reflected, and the Tyndall effect can be seen. In other words, the beautiful blue color of the water seen at the Dream Suspension Bridge represents the beauty of the water quality. And if you're lucky, you can meet a Japanese serow. They are not very wary of humans and will come down to very close to you. #Dream Suspension Bridge #Sumatakyo Dream Suspension Bridge

#Japan Attractions #Overseas Travel #Japan Travel #Japan Travel Guide #Autumn Leaves In autumn, you can see the autumn leaves in many places in Japan🇯🇵, of which I was most impressed by Inchatsu Creek, located in Shizuoka Prefecture! Inch and creek has a fantastic suspension bridge, it is known as a place to visit once in a lifetime! ✨ Only one person can stand at a time, very narrow! The bridge rocked a little while walking, but that was exciting enough! 🤩The bottom is emerald color💚💙 And clear lake water, and all around is colorful red leaves, with different colors🎨, it's like being in a secret place! Inches and creeks open irregularly outside of the fall, but come in the fall and it's really worth a visit! 👍🏻👍🏻 📍Cun and stream

I went to Dream Suspension Bridge on the weekend ✨ There is a line to cross the bridge. You should be prepared to wait on weekends. If it rains the day before, the river will be muddy, so I recommend going the next day when the weather is good 💯 The view from the bridge was also amazing 👏🏻 #summerweekendtrip #shizuoka #shizuokatourism #coupletrip #amazingview

Sumata Gorge in Shizuoka Prefecture attracts many tourists as a beautiful valley rich in nature ✨ The charm of Sumata Gorge is first of all its breathtaking scenery 🥹 The beauty of nature in each season deeply impresses visitors. Especially in autumn 🍁, colorful autumn leaves color the valley, drawing visitors into a fantastic world. In addition, the symbol of Sumata Gorge is the "Dream Suspension Bridge". This suspension bridge is famous as a scenic spot where you can see the whole valley. The emerald green lake surface seen from the bridge shines like a jewel. You may feel a thrill when crossing the suspension bridge, but the view is well worth a glance. There is also a tunnel on the way to the Dream Suspension Bridge, and the fresh greenery peeking through the tunnel is also very beautiful. Sumata Gorge is also popular as a photogenic spot, and many tourists visit. With rich nature, historic hot springs, and attractive suspension bridges, it is full of diverse attractions that will never bore visitors. This is the perfect place for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and refresh themselves in nature. Please come and experience the beautiful scenery, hot springs, and suspension bridge of Sumata Gorge. ⚠️Notes⚠️1️⃣It takes about 40 minutes one way to the Yume no Tsuribashi. The gates close at 18:00, so please calculate the time you can make a round trip before heading out. The uphill stairs after passing the suspension bridge are surprisingly tough. Bring comfortable shoes👟 and a towel. 2️⃣The suspension bridge has narrower steps than usual, so you can see the lake surface far below when you look at your feet, and it sways quite a bit. It may be scarier than a normal suspension bridge, so it is not recommended for those who are afraid of heights, but the spectacular natural scenery will overcome your fears🥹3️⃣Relax your tired body from trekking at Sumatakyo Hot Springs +:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-:+:-+📍Spot name: Sumatakyo Dream Suspension Bridge🗺️Address: Senzu, Kawane-cho, Haibara-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture🕰️Opening hours: 6:00-18:00💰Admission fee: Free🅿️Parking: Paid (500 yen) Access🚗Car: About 90 minutes from Shimada Kanaya IC on the Shin-Tomei Expressway🚃Train,🚌Bus: Oigawa Railway Take a local bus from Senzu Station and get off at Sumatakyo Onsen (about 40 minutes) #Shizuoka Tourism #Okushizu #Kawanehon Town #Domestic Travel Trip

Sumata Gorge, located at the foothills of the Southern Alps in Japan, is a popular tourist destination known for its hot springs and stunning natural scenery. In recent years, the most notable attraction has been the Yume no Tsuribashi (Dream Suspension Bridge) hidden within the gorge. This suspension bridge, which stands 8 meters high and stretches 90 meters long, spans the confluence of the Ooma River and Sumata River. Made of wooden planks, the bridge is extremely narrow and almost lacks handrails, making the crossing quite thrilling as it sways. However, standing in the middle of the bridge, one can enjoy a breathtaking view of the dense red-leaf forest and the emerald-green lake below, creating a fairy-tale-like scene. It is said that making a wish for love in the center of the bridge will ensure it comes true.

Combined with the emerald green color of the lake, this is a spectacular spot with a magnificent view! When crossing the suspension bridge, be careful as one side may become one-way when it is crowded. This time, we enjoyed a 90-minute stroll around the Sumatakyo Promenade Course (Dream Suspension Bridge → Ozakizaka Observatory, → Hiryu Bridge)! (If you cross the bridge, it will be quite a walk, so it's safer to come wearing suitable shoes.) The bridge sways quite a bit, so it may be a little scary for those with a fear of heights. There is a limit on the number of people, so please be careful when taking photos on the bridge. The course after the bridge requires you to climb a long staircase, but even after crossing Hiryu Bridge, you can see the Dream Suspension Bridge and the lake from a distance, and the scenery during the walk was beautiful and satisfying. Overall, it was a wonderful place where you could enjoy the experience of crossing a suspension bridge and the beauty of nature! It seems that it is also good in the autumn leaves season, so I would like to visit again. #0 yen trip

Camping - Recommended places for family camping 🔅Name: Mobility Park 🔅Address: 1445-481 Chojahara, Izu-no-kuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, Auto Campsite Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture 🔅Travel time: About 2 and a half hours from departure in Tokyo city. (When we went with my nephew and family, we got stuck in traffic on the highway and it took nearly 4 hours to reach our destination. The Tomei Expressway is prone to traffic jams, so it's always a good idea to leave early.) Advantages 🌟 Highlights Features: 1️⃣A comprehensive camping site with tent areas, cabins, villas, day trip BBQ, and RV areas. 2️⃣️One thing worth mentioning is the "Trailer Home DX" luxury RV area. This time we booked this area, which is suitable for 2-3 families or multiple people camping together. 3️⃣️The RV can accommodate up to 7 people, and there is a large grassy area outside the RV where you can set up a tent. A large tent with 1 bedroom and 1 living room can easily accommodate up to 4 people. In total, we can accommodate up to 11 people for camping at the same time. 4️⃣️The most important thing is that it can satisfy both those who want to stay in a tent overnight and those who are not used to it, achieving camping with both RVs and tents! (Among the friends who came with me this time, there was someone who could only stay indoors. We couldn't go camping together usually, but this place met our requirements.) 5️⃣️In addition, the RV is fully equipped with a toilet, bathroom, kitchen, and air conditioning. There are two separate rooms, one with a double bed and one with bunk beds, plus a sofa bed in the living room. It is also possible for two families to stay together without any problems, while still maintaining a certain level of privacy. 6️⃣The management building is equipped with a convenience store, toilets, vegetable washing area, shower rooms, equipment rental, and other facilities. It is suitable for novice camping and family camping. (There are not many types of rental equipment, so if you need it, you can inquire by phone in advance.) 7️⃣️There is a children's play area with slides, climbing frames, etc. There is a large lawn for activities, a pond for fishing (with fish), and swimming is possible in the summer. Drawback 👎: 1️⃣It's a bit difficult to make a reservation. It's better to confirm the itinerary 1-2 months in advance. Okay. The earliest you can make a reservation is three months in advance, and you can only make a reservation by phone. 2️⃣️The variety of goods in the small shop is not much, and there are no supermarkets or convenience stores nearby. It is said that there is a small supermarket about 15-20 minutes away. So prepare enough food before going. It is also best to bring enough toys for children. ✅Must experience: 🔥🔥Shizuoka's hidden beauty🔥🔥 Located in the northern part of Shizuoka Prefecture, not far from Tokyo, Cunyou Gorge is famous for its hot springs and Yumeno Suspension Bridge. Among them, the 90m-long "Yumeno Suspension Bridge" is listed as one of the world's top ten famous hiking suspension bridges. The dreamlike place not only has a suspension bridge, but also a lake under the bridge that shines like an emerald. The suspension bridge can only accommodate up to 10 people at a time on one side. Line 1: Go ahead. Line 2: The suspension bridge is high and long, and it swings violently. If you have a fear of heights, think twice. The hot springs nearby are famous for their "beauty bath". The single sulfur spring that spews out at the foot of the Southern Alps makes the skin smooth and delicate after soaking in the hot spring. In addition to the hot spring hotels, there are also town-run day trip outdoor baths.
