You can either take a ropeway or do one of the 3 main hiking trails up the castle. I went ahead and did the hardest one, Umanose, which is not the most recommended route as it will have you climb straight up the face of the mountain. The view overlooking the city and the river from the top made the climb all worth it otherwise.
About 3 hours away from Shizuoka City (a couple train rides and a nausea inducing bus ride- at least for me ). Deep within Shizuoka’s Southern Alps mountain range, you will find the Yume no Tsuribashi or the Dream Suspension Bridge. Below it is the gorgeous cobalt blue, Sumata River. Only 10 people at a time are allowed to go thru the bridge.
They say that it is a tradition that while crossing it, stop in the middle and make a wish about somebody you think fondly of.
Again, photos don’t do justice to how gorgeous this place is. Another favorite spot added to the list.
I just had to visit it again for this trip before renovations start in June. It still is very beautiful otherwise. ⛩ 。 。 。 #japan2019 #prefecturehopping #ig_japan #instagramjapan #visitjapan #japantravel #experiencejapan #explorejapan #traveljapan #backpacking #solotraveller #myjapan #visitjapanjp #japanphoto #japanphotography #japanloverme #bestjapanpics #unknownjapan #japanesestyle #japanfocus #tokyocameraclub #beautifuldestinations #exploreeverything #passionpassport #chugokuregion #okayama #tottori #shimane #yamaguchi #hiroshima (at The Great Torii 大鳥居) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwY3oPghzO8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11cdxw8cgef2h
