According to our Japanese relatives, this isn't just about Japan's longest suspension bridge - though the views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay are spectacular. What makes it perfect for families is how they've packed so many activities into one spot. The zip line running under the bridge is apparently a huge hit with kids, and they've even got Segway tours through the forest for something different.

What's clever about the setup is how there's something for different age groups and energy levels. While some family members might want to try the zip line, others can enjoy the hydrangea trail or just take in those Mt. Fuji views from the bridge.

They specifically mentioned how it's an easy day trip from Tokyo, making it perfect when you need a break from city sightseeing. Plus, unlike some attractions where you're done in an hour, there's enough here to make a full day of it.
