I went to Horaibashi Bridge over the Oi River in Shizuoka, known as the longest wooden footbridge in the world! It is a wooden footbridge with a total length of 897.4 meters and a width of 2.4 meters. It is still used as a farm road, but unfortunately, due to construction work, I was only able to go partway across! When the weather is good, you can see the World Heritage site Mt. Fuji!! Please go and check it out! #Horaibashi #WorldHeritage #Mt.Fuji

Horaibashi Bridge is a wooden pedestrian bridge spanning the Oi River, with a total length of 897.4m. Long trees = long-lived bridges, and the bridge's total length of 897.4 (yaku-nashi = no misfortune) is a play on words, making it a popular bridge for good luck. The bridge has supported people's lives for over 100 years, despite being hit by various natural disasters, and not only does it give a sense of history, but it also gives a sense of something invisible that is filled with people's thoughts, and is full of such charms. There are many tourist attractions in the surrounding area, so why not include it in your travel plans? Please come and visit! ! #Breathtaking views #Shizuoka #Charms of Japan
