Kokonoe Yume Otsurihashi Bridge is Japan's longest suspension bridge and has fantastic views of the Kuju mountain range and two waterfalls. When I visited, it was a weekday, meaning that I had the bridge mostly to myself. It was quite funny actually โ€” the staff were, to me, seemed a little bored of the slow stream of visitors and were super excited to show me all the high points along the bridge, including the floor grates revealing the river valley 173 meters below. ๐Ÿ˜š What I wouldn't do for some sunshine like this right about now. ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒž
I donโ€™t know why I held off posting these sunflower ๐ŸŒป pictures I took at Nagasakibana (้•ทๅดŽ้ผป) from earlier this July, but on a rainy day like today, it couldnโ€™t come at a better time! ๐Ÿ˜ญ This park rests on the tip of Kunisaki Peninsula in Bungotakada city as a flower park, camp site, and swimming beach. Over a million of these sunny fellows take turns filling the sunflower fields in all their summer time glory every year. ๐Ÿ’•โœจ Along with the flowers, the โ€œhiddenโ€ shrine in the caves was an added bonus to my visit โ€” lord knows I love me some hidden-cave-shrines whenever I stumble onto them!๐Ÿ˜. ๐Ÿ‘‰ swipe for the video to hear the summertime sounds ๐Ÿฆ— ๐Ÿฆ ๐ŸŽต
