Mishima Skywalk

Mishima Skywalk (三島スカイウォーク, Mishima Sukaiwooku) is a pedestrian bridge officially known as the Hakone Seiroku Mishima Suspension Bridge (箱根西麓・三島大吊橋, Hakone Seiroku・Mishima Ōtsuribashi) that spans a valley on the southwestern rim of the Mount Hakone caldera in Mishima, Shizuoka, Japan. The primary function of the bridge is to provide visitors with panoramic views of Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay. Measuring 400 metres (1,300 ft), it is the longest footbridge in Japan, surpassing the 390 metres (1,280 ft) long Kokonoe Yume Suspension Bridge in Kokonoe, Ōita upon its completion in 2015.[1][2]
