Japan hidden gems — Journeys in Shizuoka: The Dream Suspension Bridge & Okuoi Lake Station

Join me on a relaxing autumn trip to Sumatakyo Onsen, one of Shizuoka’s hidden gems 🍁 We rode the Ōigawa Railway to visit Yume no Tsuribashi (Dream Suspension Bridge) and Okuoi Kojo Station, a tiny station floating above an emerald-green lake. The fall colors, quiet mountain scenery, and peaceful atmosphere made this trip unforgettable. We also explored the hot spring town and enjoyed local cafés and traditional sweets. ⛰️ Places Visited • Sumatakyo Onsen https://yumenotsuribashi-sumatakyo.co... • Yume no Tsuribashi (Dream Suspension Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/yumenotsuri... • Ōigawa Railway – Ikawa Line https://daitetsu.jp • Kojō Station Café https://seikou-udoku2012.com/kojo/ • SHOP & CAFE Seikō-Udoku https://seikou-udoku2012.com/shop/ • Kominka Ochacafe Yamaguchiya (Traditional Japanese House Tea Café) https://www.instagram.com/kominka_och...
