Three of "Best in Japan" at Mishima Skywalk
- Mt.Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan
- Suruga Bay is the most beautiful and the deepest bay in Japan
- The longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Japan
It took over 3 years to built the bridge and was opened in December 14, 2015.
From the town of Mishima city “Sasaharashinden” where the skywalk is located, you have a great view of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay.
Since the tourism facilities were not developed in the past in Mishima city, many tourists could not find the best spot to appreciate the amazing view.
One of the reasons for constructing the Mishima Skywalk was to allow more tourists to visit Mishima city and enjoy the superb view.
There was also the big expectation that it would revitalize the local economy.
The highest point of the bridge from the ground is 70.6m.
You can enjoy an astonishing 360degree panoramic view.
The footbridge is lattice pattern in order to reduce the influence of the wind.
You can enjoy spectacular views of the bottom of the valley by looking through lattice.
The width of the bridge is over 1.6m to allow passage of 2 wheelchairs.
The bridge includes a device to control vibration and absorbs energy in the event of an earthquake.
So, the bridge would not collapse even in the event of an earthquake such as the Han‐Shin Awaji Earthquake disaster and the Great East Japan earthquake.
