I totally overlooked this the other day. Didn't see it at all. What an awesome bridge. Horai Bridge in Shimada, Shizuoka. Apparently the longest wooden walking bridge and even recorded in The Guinness Book of World Records. Amazing that it was built in 1879 but it can still hold so many people and is in such good shape. I wonder if it gets regular maintenance done. That newer looking segment partway through would have me think so. According to a quote in the original post taken from the Shimada City Homepage, the bridge was for agricultural use to cultivate the Makinohara Plateau which lays on the other side. Previously the people would have to cross by boat which was apparently dangerous. Looks like a really nice place to visit and the bridge has some history as well. Cool stuff!

Horai Bridge is the longest wooden pedestrian bridge in the world.
It is a wooden bridge over the Oi River in Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

<Quoted from Shimada City website>
Horai Bridge is an agricultural bridge built in 1879 (Meiji 12) to clear the Makinohara Plateau. Before the bridge was built, you had to cross the Oi River by small boat.
It was dangerous to go back and forth.
It is still used by farmers in the old city to manage the tea plantation on the opposite bank. In addition to playing an important role as a farm road, the Horai Bridge is a historic land improvement facility.

Man this place is really amazing. I've seen lots of photos about Nabana no Sato but I haven't seen any that looked like this. I know there are some really pretty cherry blossoms here in the spring too and they even have weeping cherry blossoms as well. I'd love to visit when they're in bloom, but there's also supposed to be some really amazing scenery in the fall when the leaves change color. It's really awesome they have Anpanman in the field too lol. Some of the other characters I'm not sure about but I know I've seen them before. I know about Shokupanman though since I personally love bread lol. I'm used to seeing the illuminations of this place so this is really cool getting to see a side of it I hadn't seen before.

Nabana no Sato, Mie Prefecture. A spot to go to when I go to Aichi Prefecture where my grandfather is. When I first saw it as a child, I was impressed. And even if I go there again 10 years later, I am still impressed. It does not fade over time, and it is a place where I, who was not interested in flowers until now, was taught the beauty of flowers. I want to go again when Corona calms down. It is the only family trip memory and a place that the whole family loves.

The night feast of the Nagara River flowing along Gifu Castle, where Oda Nobunaga departed from Tenkafubu. This dance boat serves as a prelude to the start of the Gifu Nagara River Ukai, and performs the Noryo dance on weekends from summer to autumn. Last year, unfortunately, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, dancers wore face shields. I want the Coronavirus pandemic to end as soon as possible and return to the summer bustle of the Nagara River.

Wow this is amazing. I've heard of Kumano Kodo before, but this is just way too beautiful. One thing I find interesting about this is the two sides of the path; It looks as though it's 2 very different areas. The soil on the left and right looks completely different, and the tree on the left are covered in foliage, whereas the trees on the right are all stripped of their leaves. I wonder if this is some cool natural phenomenon. I'd love to go hiking here and find a nice spot by a lake and just have a picnic/barbecue for the day. I wonder if there are any lakes nearby here. I'll have to do a bit of research it seems! I love how just looking at this I can feel the history and imagine how people would have traveled down this path for their pilgrimages hundreds of years ago. Awesome!

This is what I like to see! It's getting warmer and warmer with each passing day and the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom nicely. This weekend was alright, Saturday was a bit rainy but Sunday and today were really clear and the weather was great. Starting to feel like tshirt weather is coming soon! I love seeing the photos and other stuff about the Kawazu cherry blossoms, it really helps me get in the spring spirit! Going to try and get outside the city this weekend or next and see some of the cherry blossoms in Saitama or something, as unfortunately, Kanagawa is a liiittle too far for a day trip lol. We'll see what happens though. Either way I'm gonna see some cherry blossoms!
