💡 Tips for Visitors

Bring ¥200 cash for the entrance fee, which is paid at the store where the bridge entrance is located. The walking paths are mostly soft turf with some natural sections featuring roots and rocks, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Visit during weekdays or early morning for a more peaceful experience, and don't miss the teahouse for a traditional break with bay views.
