Kakegawa, Omaezaki, Sunomata Gorge
In Kakegawa, there are two post towns of the Tokaido Fifty-three Stations, "Kakegawa-juku" and "Hirasaka-juku," where you can enjoy walking around the city while feeling the history. Omaezaki is also a seaside town, and the "Omaezaki Lighthouse" is its symbol. The cute white lighthouse in Western style is sure to make a great photo with the blue sky and sea in the background! Sunomata Gorge is also famous as a hot spring resort for making beautiful women, but it is deep in the mountains, so it's a bit of a challenge to get there by train or bus. However, the journey itself is full of extraordinary experiences and excitement. The "Dream Suspension Bridge" is a thrilling experience with a width of about 40cm for the crossing board, but it is said that if a woman wishes for her love to come true in the middle of the bridge, her wish will be granted. If you are brave enough, be sure to take on the challenge!
