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

  • 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

  • Lets enter and check out what's inside

  • 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

  • which makes it one pretty awesome photo

  • 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

  • and it's been a bit shaky on the way

  • 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

  • like food and souvenirs

  • 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

  • No, lets be healthy and take the stairs

  • 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

  • you are so awesome

  • and I hope you enjoyed the video :)

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