How do I get to the Kusu tree in Kamitsushima?
the kusu tree is on kamijima in the seto inland sea, so from osaka it's a shinkansen to okayama then a train & ferry, not a day trip
yeah kamijima is right, not kamitsushima, easy mix-up. from okayama it's the seto-ohashi line to nagahama then a ferry, and the island bus runs maybe 3 times a day so check times before u commit. spring or autumn is best, summer humidity there is rough
agree it's not a day trip, but worth adding an overnight in Kurashiki or on Naoshima to break it up. last ferry back from the island is early afternoon so you don't wanna get stuck
Is the Minamizono pedestrian bridge worth a visit in 2026?
Went last spring, honestly it's a 10 minute photo stop, go at dusk when teh lights come on and combine it with a walk along the Yodo river.
Second this, but go right after sunset before the crowds.
the 7pm blue hour on a weekday
yep but weekday evenings after 8 clear out fast, and the bridge lamps turn off around 10 so don't cut it too close
Wednesday, when the office crowds thin out.
fair but the lamp glare only clears once the sky goes deep blue, so hang around 15 min past sunset
agree, though the good light is more like 20 min before sunset if u want the bridge lit without the lamp glare blowing out ur phone shots
yeah the river walk is the real reason to go, bridge itself is tiny. if u have time cross over to the nakatsu side for a quieter angle. weeknights beat weekends by a lot
Minamizono bridge, weekday mornings for empty shots
saturday mornings before 9, way fewer people
