    Took the bus from Iwakuni Station to the stop a two minute walk from the bridge as part of the good value bridge, ropeway, castle combination ticket. The bridge was beautiful to look at, both on top and underneath, although as others have said be ready for the wide shallow steps that can be quite spot on the downward slope until you get used to them. I bought an icecream to eat on the way back before I saw the sign that asked you not to eat or drink on the bridge. See more..

    Senjojiki image
    I went on a Sunday and I saw many Japanese out with their families for picnic at Senjojiki. I cycled to Senjojiki from Senzaki Station in Nagato city. I started by renting an electric bicycle from the rental shop at the pier near Senzaki Station. From there, I cycled along the coast to reach Nagato-Furuichi Station. Then, it was an uphill cycle up to Senjojiki and then downslope to Motonosumi Inari Shrine. The to and fro journey took me 6 hours + 1 hour for lunch. Back to Senjojiki, the location is on top of a hill and there is a good view of the rice fields near Nagato-Furuichi Station. It got slightly foggy which was quite interesting. You can also see some birds (eagles or falcons maybe) circling the skys. This is definitely worth a visit if you visit Nagato city! However, I would suggest that you cab here. (The cycling is quite tough) See more..
