Nearby Ryokans

Mt. Fuji Dream Bridge (Fujisan Yume no Ohashi) is a pedestrian bridge attached to the Route 1 Fuji Yui Bypass, crossing the Urui River in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It became a viral sensation on social media because you can take dramatic photos that look as if you are walking up a staircase straight into Mount Fuji. Today, it is a popular photo spot attracting many domestic and international tourists. The majestic view of Mount Fuji suddenly appearing within an everyday streetscape is a sight unique to Fuji City, and it has quickly become a beloved new sightseeing landmark at the foot of the mountain.

Features

The main highlight is the beautiful composition created when the stairs of the footbridge line up directly with Mount Fuji in the background, making it look just like a bridge reaching into Mount Fuji. On clear days, the contrast between the blue sky, snowcapped Mount Fuji, and concrete stairs creates a breathtaking view. Another great feature is that you can capture Mount Fuji from various angles depending on where you stand and how you frame your shot, such as peeking at Mount Fuji through the space between the northbound and southbound bridges.

Recommended Ways to Spend Time and Enjoy

It is about a 20-minute walk from JR Shin-Fuji Station, arriving at your destination as you stroll through the city while enjoying views of Mount Fuji. Once you arrive, start by setting up your camera from the bottom of the stairs to take a photo, positioning your subject like a silhouette on the stairs with Mount Fuji in the background. Visiting on a clear morning is highly recommended, as the air is crisp and Mount Fuji stands out sharply. After enjoying your photo session, a classic way to finish your trip is walking to nearby local restaurants to enjoy regional food. Since this is a local residential pathway frequently used by pedestrians and cyclists, please be mindful not to block the walkway. Avoid stepping onto the roadway or parking illegally nearby, and make sure to enjoy your visit with good manners.
