Mishima Skywalk & Shuzenji Onsen: Suspension Bridge & Samurai Spa Town

Walk Japan's longest pedestrian suspension bridge — 400 metres of heart-stopping views over Mt. Fuji — then decompress in Shuzenji, Izu's most elegant ancient hot-spring town. Drama and serenity in one extraordinary day.

What to expect

The Mishima Skywalk bridge sways gently 70 metres above a river gorge, with Fuji's perfect cone framed ahead of you on clear days — a photograph you will show for the rest of your life. From there, your journey continues to Shuzenji, a hot-spring town that has drawn Zen monks, poets, and nobility for over 1,200 years. Stroll the willow-lined Katsura River, visit the ancient Shuzenji Temple, and enjoy a private kaiseki lunch or onsen footbath at a traditional ryokan. The bamboo grove path is a serene, Instagram-worthy finale.

Good to know

Shuzenji is approximately 60–70 minutes from Shimizu Port by private vehicle. Book a private guide to connect both experiences seamlessly and ensure you return to port comfortably. Mishima Skywalk can be busy on weekends — a morning start is strongly advised.
