The next place we visited after Okuoikojo Station was Sumatakyo Onsen.。stay here for one night、The next day, we toured the Yume Suspension Bridge.。The inn I stayed at was Suikoen.、I'll write about that article next time.。Let's start with the suspension bridge of dreams。Since there are too many photos, I would like to introduce them in two parts.。

 

Walking map from “Sumatakyo Onsen Parking Lot” to “Dream Suspension Bridge”

It is about 2.5km one way from the Sumatakyo Onsen parking lot to Yume no Suspension Bridge.。From there, you will have to cross Hiryukyo Bridge and return to the original parking lot, so you will have to walk more than 6km.。Stroll around the hot spring village along the way、If you go to Sarunami Bridge, it may be about 10km.。If you are not confident in your physical strength, we recommend that you take a break and sightsee with plenty of time.。

Also、I stayed at Sumatakyo Onsen the previous day, so I left in the morning.。The Yume Suspension Bridge gets quite crowded.、Should I stay overnight at Sumata Gorge Onsen?、If that is not possible, it is best to arrive early in the morning.。It's relatively empty in the morning.、A lot of people will come in the afternoon, so。

 

Stroll around Sumatakyo Onsen Village

This is the parking lot of Sumatakyo Onsen.。I think most people start walking from here.。When it's crowded, the parking lot may be a little far away.、To avoid this, we recommend arriving early.。By the way, I stayed at Suikoen the day before, so I left my car there.。

There are some interesting objects at Sumata Gorge Onsen。This is a parent-child love frog。

This is the source of Sumatakyo Onsen.。Sumatakyo Onsen has very good spring quality.、Selected as one of the top 100 famous hot springs。The hot spring itself is colorless and transparent.、Is it because it is very alkaline?、It's so slimy that I can't even open the lid of the plastic bottle.。

Monkey avoiding illegal parking。When I was taking an open-air bath at Suikoen, a monkey came to visit me.。There are many wild monkeys

This is deer。Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any wild deer this time.、If you're lucky, maybe you'll meet。

Oranges were sold along the way.。You can also get mandarin oranges in Sumata Gorge.。I thought it was only in warm coastal areas.。

Signboards like this are placed here and there in the hot spring village.。It's not that big so I think you can see everything in a short time.。

bus terminal。We recommend visiting before the first bus arrives.。That means it's in the morning。The greengrocer was suddenly thriving.。

There is also a post office.。There are public restrooms in Sumata Gorge, so don't worry if you are close to a restroom.。

If you go a little higher up there is a natural open-air bath.。There seems to be a barrel sauna as well.、Advance reservations are required for that.。

This is the entrance。Towels are available for rent for a fee, so if you want to save money, you may want to bring your own.。I didn't know that when I came here.、This open-air bath seems to have been introduced in the anime Yuru Camp△ Season 3.。If you are going on a pilgrimage to a holy place, please don't forget your towel.。

antelope statue。It's a natural monument。In that case, the deer from earlier might be an antelope.。By the way、The antelope's natural enemy seems to be deer.。It seems that the deer are entering the antelope's territory and eating up all the grass for food.。I watched it on Darwin Comes.。

There are also quite a few restaurants.。This may be the closest parking lot to the Yume Suspension Bridge.。In addition to the parking lot at the Sumatakyo Onsen entrance、There are several parking lots just inside from there.、I think it would be a good idea to discuss in advance where you want to go and where to park.。By the way, there is a parking lot near the open-air bath mentioned earlier.。

A footbath cafe called Haruko Uyomi。Looks like this place was also the setting for Yuru Camp△.。I should have taken more photos><

No cars can enter from here。I will walk and cross the gate.。

Admission to the Dream Suspension Bridge is free.、In this way, donations are being collected for environmental conservation.。Although there are few、I also made a donation。

Free nuts to take home。Children might like it

Guide map along the way。The round trip to Yume no Suspension Bridge will take approximately 1 hour.。It feels like it might take 2 hours if you go sightseeing slowly.。

Creatures that live in Sumata Gorge。Ah、After all, there are sika deer too.。I was lucky to see an antelope!

walk a path like this。Although it is a road, private cars cannot enter, so walk confidently in the middle.

There was a toilet on the way。If you are unsure, please take care of yourself.。

After walking for a while, there is a tunnel。It's a pretty long tunnel.。

After passing through the tunnel, there is a fork in the road。From here, take the path on the right to reach the Yume Suspension Bridge.。Turn around and come back from the road on the left.。Because the dream suspension bridge is a one-way street.。

go down these stairs。I feel like it would be quite difficult for people with bad feet.。

I will walk down a path that only one person like me can walk through.。It's almost time to reach the suspension bridge of dreams.。

 

That's all for this article。Next time, cross the suspension bridge of dreams、I would like to come around!
