Sumata Gorge
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.

Discovering that there are really many places around Japan that are suitable for weekend check-ins, full of mystery and fantasy.
① Odai-Ikejiri Station:
Shimobe, Kawanehon-cho, Haibara-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture.
This spot offers a panoramic view of the hidden station! The station is built on a dammed lake and looks like it's floating on water from afar, it's super dreamy! It's said to be the only operating cog railway in Japan.
②Dream Suspension Bridge:
Shizuoka Prefecture, Haruno District, Kawanehon-cho, Chito.
At the entrance of the Dream Suspension Bridge trail in Cunyouxia Hot Spring Town, you will pass through an abandoned tunnel and walk for 10 minutes to get there. The surrounding mountains and forests, along with the reflection on the water, create a beautiful emerald green scenery. It is said that if you make a wish in the middle of the bridge, it will come true.

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.
