Yume no Tsuribashi suspension bridge — Attraction in Kawanehoncho

We went on a Tuesday at 1pm and nobody was there. It was so beautiful. My wife made me go and it was so much better than what I expected. It is truly breathtaking and we have never seen anything like it. The water is crystal clear and blue. The surrounding area is beautiful. I would have liked to have seen it before all the fall leaves were gone, however I know there would be so many people here. Our friend from Tokyo drove us there. The road to it has a lot of turns, very narrow, and you go up and down mountains. Also, when you cross the bridge, you are not supposed to cross it back (from what we read and heard). You are supposed to continue up a steep mountain and circle around. With nobody there, we just crossed back and did not have to go around and do that steep hike. In the end, I recommend going at this time and during the week. Hardly any people and it is...

There's no cost to enter the park, but they do ask for donations to help on maintenance (non mandatory) and the parking lots...

Imagine a beautiful lake; depending on the day, the color turns blue or emerald green. Crossing the bridge is for the brave, but the reward of enjoying the view from right above the river is incredible. To get to the bridge, you'll have to walk quite a bit, so wear comfortable clothes and shoes. In town, you'll find small establishments where you can grab a snack and a coffee or juice. There are also some places with hot springs. If you're lucky, you might see some deer walking along the riverbank—a beautiful sight. I recommend bringing a bottle of water, especially in the summer, when the heat can...
