The Mishima Skywalk is the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Japan, offering unrestricted panoramic views of the western slopes of Mt. Fuji as well as the Izu Mountains. The bridge is 1,312 feet long, 232 feet high, and 5.2 feet wide, with a suspension tower that stands 144 feet tall. Odawara Castle was originally built in the mid-15th century and soon fell into the hands of the Hojo Clan, one of the most powerful clans during the Warring States Era, who used it as a base to control the region. In 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked the castle, and with the defeat of the Hojo Clan, he reunited Japan. However, during the Meiji Period, the main castle and other buildings were dismantled by the new government. The castle complex we see today is a reconstruction based on models and drawings from the Edo Period.
