Part two of Shizuoka one day trip. Part 1 is here.

After having lunch, we took orange train to this place called Shimada (島田).


Orange!!

Shimada has this world's longest wooden bridge called Horai Bridge (蓬莱橋).


Guinness Record of longest wooden pedestrian bridge, 897.422 metres.

From Shimada Station, it takes about 15 mins walk to reach Horai Bridge.



It takes another 20 mins to cross the bridge. World's longest wooden pedestrian bridge of course it is quite long.


The other side of Horai Bridge, there is another hiking trail here, but we already had enough in Satta Pass so...

And another 20 mins back to the starting point, plus another 15 mins to go back to Shimada station. Total: 75 mins of walk. It depends how fast you walk though.


Shimada station looks very new.

If I were alone, I won't come here for sure. Any place which takes more than 15 mins of walk will be a no for me. Yahoo Dome in Fukuoka is 15 mins away from subway, that's why I didn't go there ops =x

Then we went to Bentenjima (弁天島), which is three stops away from Hamamatsu (浜松), Shizuoka's largest city, to see this floating Torii.


This is Shizuoka, not Hiroshima.

The wind was super strong and crazy, so we cancelled our plan to see the sunset and went back to Hamamatsu station, and took train all the way back to Tokyo. We reached Takadanobaba station at around 10:30 pm. That sums up our long day trip.

My pedometer stated that we have walked for a grand total of 21 km.


YUI, happy 22 birthday and welcome back!!

Expenditure:
1. Seishun 18 ticket: 2300 yen
2. Food (Curry rice and other crap): 1030 yen
3. Entrance for Horai Bridge: 100 yen
Total: 3430 yen
