Hashidate Suspension Bridge

BRIDGE

Ito is an area full of amazing viewpoints and Tsushima Falls is no exception. With views of the eastern coastline overlooking the ocean, it’s definitely worth making the journey down. The bridge has an amazing view of the ocean/coastline and if you’re lucky then you might also be able to see people scaling the rock below you.

There is a free car park available, however there aren’t many spaces. Search for 橋立観光駐車場 in Google Maps to find it.

Review

I’ve always heard that the Ito coastline was pretty but I rarely drive over this side of the peninsula. I definitely wasn’t disappointed by the view. The normal car park was full so we parked at the station and walked down to the waterfall. There are signposts in English and it’ll take you down a path along the river. At the end turn right and follow until you get to the bridge.

The bridge has a pretty view but don’t expect to stay here for too long. We took a few pictures and there weren’t that many people around so I’m not sure how well known it is. It also seems like you can rock climb in this area but I’m unsure how to actually do that. If you’re lucky then you can watch other people do it.

RECOMMENDED ROUTE:

Parking can be a bit of a nightmare to find. I recommend taking the train from Atami to Izu-Kogen Station and then walk to the waterfall from there. There is a car park for here, however there aren’t many spaces. The station also provides parking for a fee.
