Japan Trip: World's Longest Series of Suspension Bridges, Shimanami Kaido Bridge, Hiroshima 06 Moochan
Japan and its people are very proud of Shimanami Kaido Bridge, the world’s longest series of suspension bridges, which connects Honshu (Japan’s main island) with Shikoku. Visitors can enter or exit the bridge from either Onomichi City in Hiroshima Prefecture on the Honshu side or from Imabari City in Ehime Prefecture on the Shikoku side. This 60 kilometer long bridge-toll road can be utilized by motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.
Visitors can use Shimanami Kaido to visit Mukaishima, Innoshima, Ikuchijima, Omishima, Hakatajima, and Oshima islands as the bridge has exits for its users to stop along the Seto Inland Islands on their way to Honshu or Shikoku. Some areas of attractions on the islands include:
**Innoshima Suigun Castle on Innoshima Island. Though not the original castle, the recreated naval castle is modeled after the original castle from the 14th to 15th centuries. Visitors will find a museum about the Japanese navy within the castle.
**Kosanji Temple on Ikuchijima Island. Dedicated to the founder’s mother, the buildings within the temple grounds are modeled after famous Japanese historic structures. This temple has a museum as well displaying rare, high quality antique art pieces.
**Oyamazumi Jinja (Shrine) on Omishima Island. The deity enshrined at this shrine is the protector of the sailors and soldiers. The shrine is also famous for its collection of historic armor and swords.
**Kirosan Observatory Park on Oshima Island. Visitors can view Kurushima-kaiyo Strait Bridge, the first three consecutive suspension bridges in the world! In addition, Kurshima-kaiyo Strait, one of the three fastest currents in Japan can be seen here.
In addition to the tourist attractions, visitors can enjoy the fresh sea air, cool sea breeze as well as sunshine on this island hopping bridge. Visitors will find beautiful beaches on the islands. There are campgrounds as well as hot spring inns (ryokan) for those who wish to spend the night.
Visitors are recommended to try the local fruits and vegetables these islands are proud of. Citrus is especially popular in this area. The seafood, caught from the surrounding Seto Inland Sea, is delicious as well. Sea bream. Octopus, Shellfish (including short-neck clams and freshwater clams) are but a few of the popular seafood in this area.
The bridge can be accessed by car, moped, bus, and bicycle or on foot. There are ferries as well to the islands with the Shimanami Kaido Bridge in the background. Not just a bridge, toll way connecting the islands as well Honshu and Shikoku, Shimanami Kaido is new way to access, discover and experience Japan treasures.
Japan's Most Beautiful Cycling Route | Shimanami Kaido Travel Guide
Shimanami Kaido is one of Japan's most famous cycling routes connecting the main island Honshu with Shikoku.
Ever since I heard about this bikeway a few months ago, I knew I had to travel there some day to experience it for myself!!
So, I packed up my bags, bought a Shinkansen ticket and took a spontaneous trip down to Onomichi, Hiroshima.
Shimanami Kaido Bikeway runs between Onomichi in Hiroshima Prefecture and Imabari in Ehime Prefecture, hopping across 6 islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
You can start your journey from either the Hiroshima side or the Ehime side. I started from the Hiroshima side because the views get better and better as you go along towards Ehime.
So, hope you enjoy the new adventure with me and let me know in the comments something you have always wanted to do!! And then MAKE time for it and actually go do it! :D

Shin'en Garden of Heian jingu in Kyoto!
The Shin'en consists of four gardens which surround the main shrine buildings on the south, west, middle, and east. With a total area of approximately 33,000 square meters, these stroll-style landscape gardens are designated as a national scenic spot representative of Meiji-era (1868-1912) garden design.
Nishi Shin'en (West Garden)
The focus of the Nishi Shin'en is a quiet pond named Byakko-ike. The irises around the pond bloom in all their glory in early summer, lending the garden an ethereal beauty. A tea ceremony arbor called Choshin-tei is located in the cluster of trees in the garden's southwest.
Minami Shin'en (South Garden)
This garden is a Heian-style garden designed for holding Kyokusui-no-en, a garden party during which aristocrats amused themselves by composing Japanese poems. In spring, the garden is bright with the deep pink blossoms of drooping cherry trees. The cherry blossoms are followed by azaleas in early summer and by hagi (Japanese bush clover) in autumn. The garden contains a smaller garden called Heian-no-sono featuring plants and flowers which appear in Heian-period literary works.
Naka Shin'en (Middle Garden)
Visitors who pass through the cluster of trees behind the shrine's main buildings will find a beautiful garden called Naka Shin'en. this garden, as well as the Nishi Shin'en, was constructed in 1895. It contains the Soryu-ike pond which features the Garyu-kyo, a walkway consisting of stone pillars which once served as foundation stones for the girders of Sanjo Ohashi and Gojo Ohashi, famous bridges in the centre of the city of Kyoto. The pond is surrounded by an exquisite expanse of rabbit-ear irises.
Higashi Shin'en (East Garden)
This garden was contructed in the early 1910s. In the centre of the garden, there is a pond called Seiho-ike on which courtiers are said to have gone boating in ancient times. Borrowing the Higashiyama hills as background scenery, the garden contains two elegant old-style buidings - the Taihei-kaku and the Shobi-kan adjacent to it - which add to the garden's overall charm.
Road Collapses in Fukuoka, Japan. (No injuries)
TOKYO – Parts of a principle road have broke down in a city in southern Japan, making a colossal sinkhole and cutting off power, water and gas supplies to parts of the city.
Powers said no wounds were accounted for from Tuesday's pre-dawn fall in downtown Fukuoka, which made a huge sinkhole amidst the business locale.
Authorities said the reason for the crumple in the city's Hakata locale is under scrutiny, yet connected it to continuous tram development adjacent. A littler sinkhole happened in Fukuoka in 2014 at another area of the tram development.
The monstrous collapse, more than a large portion of an Olympic-measure pool, showed up close to the city's bustling Hakata station, with sloppy underground water streaming into the gap.
The occurrence provoked the clearing of a few occupants in adjacent structures.

【駅探訪No.48】東急東横線 渋谷駅にて(At Shibuya Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line)
東急東横線の起点である渋谷駅は東京都渋谷区に位置する高架駅です。1927年8月28日に開業した駅で、一日平均乗降人員は420,163人（2011年）です。2013年3月16日に東急東横線が東京メトロ副都心線との相互直通運転を開始することに伴い、約50年続いた高架駅舎は見納めとなります。そんな東急東横線の渋谷駅で、駅周辺や構内、列車の発着風景を撮影してみました。
The Shibuya elevated station on the Tokyu Toyoko line is located at Shibuya Ward in Tokyo, Japan. After Tokyu Toyoko line begin to be linked directly to Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin line on 16th March, 2013, the 50-year-long elevated station will be abolished. I took this movie of station, vicinity and trains at Shibuya station on the Tokyu Toyoko line.
