The superlative

So today I've come to the longest pedestrian bridge in Japan

Past simple

and apparently it opened at the end of last year in 2015

so it's still fairly new, so lets go inside and see how the bridge is like and lets see the best view of Mt Fuji

So the suspension bridge is located in Shizuoka prefecture in Mishima city

It opened in December 2015 so it's still so new that it's not even updated on google earth

I went there from Tokyo by car and it took a little under 2 hours

However, you can also get there by bus from JR Mishima station

If you decide to drive, they also have a lot of free car parks available

So after arriving head towards the ticket gate

and Mishima Sky Walk is actually open 365 days a year

so they don't have any holidays unless the weather conditions are bad

For adults it's 1000yen for the ticket and for children the prices vary

Now this was my first time going as well so I was pretty excited to see what it was like

there were many nice places to take photos of the view but let me show you which one I liked the best

So this is the look out point and you can see Mt Fuji and the bridge in one shot

Not to mention it's also my thumbnail for this video

Now the moment you have been waiting for, lets go cross the bridge!

this bridge is wide enough for about 3-4 adults to easily pass each other

and what I like about this bridge was that it's also made convenient for people on wheel chairs to cross it as well

the bridge is around 70 meters tall so it's pretty cool seeing the ground below from up high

So I've made it to the middle of the bridge

but it's really safe so you don't have to worry about that

and from the middle of this bridge you can actually see Fuji-san

which is really nice so I think it is a really close view and it's a great place to see it

So I came in Summer but I really want to try coming in the other seasons

espeically when there's snow on top of Mt Fuji

So lets go talk to one of the staff here and hear a little bit more about this place

So on the other side of the bridge there are many shops selling different things

and there's even this shop that sells these cute wooden eggs where you can also find in the nearby forrest

so you can find these all over the forrest and I'm not quite sure why they put it there

but some are in pretty interesting places as well

like this donut looking one that I gave up on trying to get

and here's me trying to cool down after all that hunting

on the day they were also taking free photographs for everyone that came

This guy was awesome because he just stood under the sun to take photos for everyone

so you can buy the actual photograph or just stick to the free one like I did

there were many other interesting things like this flower drop shop

there are many different colours to choose from and there are 8 different types of nature words at the back

it's fun picking it and you can also take it home

there's also another lookout point after you cross the bridge

now it's time to go back to the entrance and get some food

there is a cafe at the entrance but let me take you somewhere that's a little bit more unique

now looking back at this I really do always go to the mist fans, don't I? haha

so the place we are going is actually up this slope, it's a little behind everything however it's still easy to find

So these stairs were so pretty and it was such a shame no one was using them so I decided to use them

the log deign of these stairs reminded me of the forrest that was back over the bridge

so we have finally arrived and this place is called the Sky Garden

when you enter the ceiling is filled with chandelier-like plants

each season the flowers change so you can enjoy different flowers all year round

they even had this flower headband and broomstick for you to take photos with the flowers

there was also many shops where you could get light refreshments from

so it might actually be a good idea to stop by and eat something before you cross the bridge

because you actually aren't allowed to bring anything over

and you can buy some souvenirs and gifts for your family and friends back at home

there is a lot to choose from but probably the one that is only sold here is this long sky walk roll cake

if you can't take that home with you there is also a shorter version

last but not least check out the show room near the entrance

which has a miniature model of the sky walk and photos of the process of it being made

so thank you for watching until the very end of the video
