Beautiful bridge, 100 yen entry fee for adults but worth it considering the great view. Nice way to kill time and chill.

I was the only one here. But I wonder at Osaka's EXPO is that now the longest pedestrian wood bridge in the world???

We were tired and hungry as we had toured a lot on the day. However, we decided to see this Horai bridge that’s recorded in Guinness world records. It was fulfilling to finish our walk to the end. We felt like achievers when we finally completed our walk in and out of the bridge🤩 It is recommended to say a word of prayer when you get to the end of the bridge.🙏🏾

Hōrai Bridge is a long wooden bridge located in Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It crosses the Ōi River and is famous for being one of the longest wooden pedestrian bridges in the world. The bridge is about 897 meters long and was built in 1879.

After the nth time of going here, finally able to crossed the bridge ❤️✨ This bridge is the 1997 Longest Wooden Walking Bridge in the world based on Guinness, and I am so happy to see and experience this in my life 🎌 Also there is a rumor that this bridge, is captured/used as a venue in an anime (not sure). Kudos, Japan on preserving this kind of structure. This is a must experience! ❤️💯

An amazing long wooden bridge. Build in 1879, 879m. Japan's largest wooden pedestrian bridge. Enjoy walking and you can also bring your bicycle. In the other side of the bridge there is souvenir shop, and other view. A friendly staff 😊

It was good and amazing Visiting this historical wood bridge feeling refresh i would like to recommended this this place to visit u once time.

(Translated by Google) There is an hour-long gap between trains, so passengers will have to take a break in the convenience store next to the ticket office, the photo booth, the exhibition hall, etc. Traveling on a hot day can be difficult. When trains depart, there is insufficient information about which platform the train is departing from and where it is going, so I hope the railway company can do something about this. (Original) 列車の運行間隔がほぼ1時間空くので、その間、切符売り場の横の売店や撮影スペース、展示場などで休憩しながら過ごすことになります。暑い日は移動も大変そうです。列車が発車するとき、何番線からどこ行きの電車が発車するかの表示や案内が不十分なので、これは鉄道会社に頑張って頂きたいですね。

(Translated by Google) This Oigawa Railway station is famous for being the train on which Thomas the Tank Engine runs. The building in front of the station houses a souvenir shop and an old locomotive on display, as well as a wide variety of Thomas-related play equipment. You can use the restroom here and adjust your schedule until your departure time. By the way, we used the paid parking lot in front of the station, and a staff member showed us around. Thomas's face is impressive when you see him up close, but the unique sound of the locomotive and the view from the window were also memorable. On the way back, we had a refreshing hamburger in Shimada City, making this a wonderful sightseeing experience. (Original) トーマスが走る鉄道で有名な大井川鐵道の駅。 駅前の建物には、お土産屋さんと昔の機関車が展示されており、トーマス系の遊具も多種揃っていました。 出発時間まではこちらでトイレ等も済ませて、時間まで調整できます。 ちなみに駐車場は駅前のコインパーキングを利用し、誘導員さんが案内してくれました。 トーマスを間近で見ると顔に圧倒されますが、やはり機関車ならではの音や、窓から眺める景色は思い出に残りました。 帰りは島田市内のさわやかハンバーグを食べる事ができ、素敵な観光を堪能できた場所でした。

(Translated by Google) Saturday, June 7, 2025 I came here to go to the Thomas Fair and ride the Thomas train. The restrooms were outside the station building. There was a shop. You could see Thomas and the coal he uses for a fee. There is a paid parking lot in front of the station, but the fee is cheap. (Original) 2025/6/7 土曜日 トーマスフェア＆トーマス号に乗るために来ました。 お手洗いは駅舎の外にありました。 売店あり。 トーマスやそれに使う石炭？なども有料で見ることができました。 駅前に有料駐車場ありますが、料金は安いです。

(Translated by Google) I parked my car at the Kawane Onsen Roadside Station and took Thomas from Kawane Onsen Sasamado Station. There were many Oigawa Railway carriages parked there, which was fun to see. There was also a shop in front of the station selling Oigawa Railway merchandise. (Original) 道の駅川根温泉に車を駐車して、川根温泉笹間渡駅からトーマスに乗ってやってきました。 大井川鐡道のたくさんの車両が停まっていて楽しむことができました。 また駅前の大井川鐡道のグッズが売っているショップもありました。

(Translated by Google) Thomas and his friends are there too. Parking near the event costs 500 yen per person, but it might be cheaper to park in the coin-operated lot just outside. The free parking lot has a steam locomotive, a station building, and a diorama for kids to play in. They also have souvenirs, and the cashiers are very friendly. (Original) トーマス居ますその仲間もいます 駐車場はイベント（1人500円）近くに置くと1日分掛かりますが手前のコインパーキングに置いた方が安く済むかも 無料の室内にはSLや駅舎があったりジオラマもあって子供は遊べます お土産もあってレジのお姉様方😊親切です

(Translated by Google) Old Tokaido Road Conquest Challenge 2025 The Kanaya-juku post station stamp card is sold only at the kiosk in the Oigawa Railway Monde Station building, a short distance north of the old Tokaido road. I thought I could just take a train departing 20 minutes later from Shin-Kanaya Station and make a round trip, but it turns out that regular passengers without reservations can't board, so I'll have to take a train more than an hour later. Walking there and back would cost me an hour and 40 minutes. I had no choice but to take a taxi round trip just to buy one card. I wish the post station stamp cards were sold along the road. Shimada-juku, Kanaya-juku, and the next day, Hisaka-juku, all aren't sold along the road. I'd never experienced anything like this from Nihonbashi to here... (Original) 旧東海道踏破チャレンジ2025 金谷宿の宿場印カードは、旧東海道の街道沿いではなく北にしばらく行った大井川鉄道門出駅舎内の売店でのみ売られている。新金谷駅を20分後に出る列車で行って往復すればいいと思っていたら、予約のない一般の乗客は乗れなくて、1時間以上先後の列車になるとのこと。歩いて往復すると1時間40分はロスになりそう。仕方なく、1枚のカードを買うためにタクシーで往復することにした。宿場印カードは街道沿いで販売して欲しい。島田宿、この金谷宿、そして次の日坂宿どれも街道沿いでは販売されていない。日本橋からここまで、こんなことはなかったのに…。

(Translated by Google) I visited in December 2024. In stark contrast to the empty Kanaya Station (sorry...), this station is packed with the charm of the Oigawa Railway. Plaza Loco is located in front of the station building, and this is where you can purchase your steam locomotive ticket. The facility houses a Thomas shop and a steam locomotive exhibition, and unlike Kanaya Station, you won't have enough time to see it all. There is also the famous turntable, but it is located within the Thomas Fair venue, and a separate admission fee (400 yen for adults) is required to view it. As for me, I decided to pass on the train this time in order to photograph Thomas passing the Oigawa Railway New National Highway Crossing (the crossing of Prefectural Route 381 (Shimada Okabe Line)) at around 9:31am. (Original) 2024年12月に訪れました。 何も無い金谷駅（失礼…）と打って変わり、こちらは大井川鐵道の魅力がこれでもかと詰まっています。 駅舎前にはプラザロコがあり、SLの乗車券はここで発券します。 施設内にはトーマスショップやSLの展示などがあり、金谷駅と違って時間が足りないくらいです。 有名な転車台もありますがトーマスフェアの会場内にあり、見学には別途入場料（大人400円）が必要です。 私はと言うと、大井川鐵道新国道踏切（県道381号線（島田岡部線）の踏切）を9時31分頃に通過するトーマス号撮影のため、今回は見送りました。

The absolute best museum in the world! They have a very interactive exhibition explaining the origins of the tea culture in Japan and around the world, and you can also join some activities like grinding your own matcha, tasting some local tea, or having your own tea ceremony. The gardens are magnificent. You can either arrive here by public transportation and a walk or directly by car.

Very interesting museum to learn all about tea, its production, and its influence across the world. Definitely participate in the tea ceremony if you have time (they conduct them every 20 minutes in the tea house out back), as it’s a quick but neat experience. The gift shop is great for buying tea goodies as well.

This was my first private formal tea ceremony. All of the staff were wonderful. The tea prepared by the master teacher (older female in photo) was absolutely wonderful. The gentleman did a great job performing the ceremony.

I highly recommend visiting this museum. Wish I had more time to participate in activities on the 1st floor. Thank You.

Absolutely must-go for every tea lover visiting Shizuoka. They explain most things in English. There is a lot to look at and learn about. My favourite museum in the entire world. I loved that they showcase tea cultures from around the world. You can also drink and buy tea in the museum shop.

This museum surprised us greatly. One of the most interesting to us we’ve been at in Japan. They also have a stunning garden and tea house with the friendliest tea masters. We had such a good time there!

One of the best museums I have ever visited. Very friendly staff, the tea ceremony was so cute and I just really enjoyed learning more about the tea. The museum shop with selection of different teas was also 10/10. The view to Mount Fuji was also a nice surprise.

(Translated by Google) The main hall, Zushi, standing statue of Senju Kannon, and Amida Nyorai are all designated important cultural properties by the country. At Chiman-ji Temple, there is a huge tree called Chiman-ji Jubonsugi. Some of the trees have already fallen down and there are only stocks left, but it's a sight to behold. All of them are giant cedar trees that are over 800 to 1,200 years old. (Original) 本堂と厨子と千手観音立像と阿弥陀如来の４つが国指定重要文化財です。智満寺には智満寺の十本杉といわれる巨木があります。何本かはもう倒れて株だけになっていますが圧巻です。どれも８００年から１２００年以上の杉の巨木です。

(Translated by Google) I had always wanted to go to this temple. Someone had told me to go and see it, and I had been interested in it for about 15 years, but today I finally had the chance to go. Perhaps there is a connection, or compatibility, or a way of meeting with the temple. Today may have been the day of that connection. The entrance to the temple is narrow and difficult to find. The road to the main hall is also narrow, so if there is an oncoming car, you may barely be able to pass it. Please be careful. You have to climb a steep staircase to reach the main hall. There is a mountain gate on the way, so bow and enter. The main hall has a quaint thatched roof. From there, you can head to the top of the mountain. However, the road to the top of the mountain, and probably the entire temple, is a place of spiritual power, so there is a signboard that says that people who are not interested in climbing, hiking, trail running, or faith are not allowed. The entire space (mountain) is probably a sacred and solemn space. As this temple is located in the mountains, the air is different and there are large amounts of negative ions. We climbed to the top of the mountain and viewed the Osugi and Darumasugi trees. They were magnificent cedars that were over 800 years old. You can also get a temple stamp. Smoking is strictly prohibited, but there is an ashtray next to the toilets where you can smoke. (Original) ずっと行ってみたいと思っていたお寺さんでした。 ある人から是非行って見て欲しいと言われていて気にはなっていたものの15年くらい経ってしまい、ようやく今日行ける運びとなりました。 お寺さんとの縁といいますか相性というか出逢い方みたいなのもあるのかもしれません。今日がその縁のある日だったのかもです。 お寺さん入口の入り方が狭くて分かりづらいです。本堂まで行くのにも細い道なので、対向車がいるとすれ違いなどギリギリかもしれません。お気をつけくださいませ。 本堂までは急な階段を上っていきます。途中山門がありますので一礼して中へ。 本堂は茅葺き屋根の趣のあるつくりです。 そこから山頂に向かいます。 が、山頂までの道は、というかお寺全体がそうなのでしょうが霊験あらかたの場所なので、登山、ハイキング、トレイルランの方、信仰する気のない方はお断りとの立て看板が。 空間（山）全体が神聖な荘厳な空間ということなのでしょう。山の中にあるお寺さんなので空気も違ってマイナスイオンが大量発生。 山頂までのぼり、大杉と達磨杉を拝観。 樹齢800年すぎという見事な杉でした。 御朱印もいただけます。 完全禁煙ですがトイレ脇に灰皿がありそこでなら喫煙できます。

(Translated by Google) It is said to have been built during the Nara period. The main hall has a thatched roof that is said to have been influenced by the Momoyama culture. You can't tell from the photo, but the temple itself is huge and impressive! There is a statue of Senju Kannon inside the temple, but it is only unveiled once every 60 years. Next time will be in the 2050s. I wanted to see Jubonsugi, but Kanban is available. ``Persons other than those visiting the shrine, those wearing inappropriate attire, and those who are cycling are prohibited from entering.'' Come to think of it, I think there was also a kanban at the bottom that said ``Mountain walking/trail running is prohibited as it is a sacred mountain.'' I didn't go to the inner chamber because I felt intimidated by it. There was an old man runner making a U-turn on the approach to Yuzanji Temple, which I went to the other day. Is it sacred? I'm coming with an open mind, so I think, ``I should run somewhere else!'' Maybe even if it's not me, I have similar feelings. I feel like the place is being spoiled somehow. There are people everywhere who cannot decide that a place is not a good place to run. Even if I say this before making a judgment, you will never understand. However, I also wonder why there are such warnings everywhere for the sake of pure worshipers. The child and the young father, who had hung the insect cage, went towards the ten cedar trees. Is this good? Isn't that so? The delineation has a visible impression and is very vague. It may also be considered a sacred mountain. They probably feel like their sacred grounds are being trampled upon without their permission. However, it may be difficult to recognize and respond these days. Ten years ago, walking up and down the stairs at a temple was a common sight for club activities. Wouldn't it be better to say, "Try your best and don't get hurt!"? Maybe even those who travel to the shrine will become more religious as they traverse the sacred precincts. You are receiving high vibrations every time they come! A spiritual celebrity who even appears on TV. "He's the guy who was doing the training here." Isn't it possible? Why not? Those who don't understand will always not understand. The idea is that if everyone realizes and understands it someday, they can all become gods and Buddhas. Unfortunately, it seemed to be the best point with just the right amount of exercise for a training run 😅 The temple probably didn't put out Kanban at first either. Chimanji's Facebook page was also attacked. If you are interested, why not take a look? It was a place that made me think about many things. (Original) 奈良時代の創建だそう。本堂は桃山文化の影響を受けたとされる茅葺屋根。写真だとわからないけどお堂自体が大きくて迫力！堂内に千手観音立像があるけど60年に一度の御開帳。次回は2050年代です。 十本杉が見たかったのですがカンバンあり。「参拝以外の方、それらしくない服装の方、トレランの方、入場禁止」とある。そう言えば下にも「霊山なので山歩き/トレイルランニング禁止」なカンバンあった気が。何だか威圧されてるようで奥院には行きませんでした。 先日行った「油山寺」の参道にも折り返しUターンしてるオジサンランナーがいた。一応神聖な？心持ちで来ているので「他で走れよ！」とは思う。多分自分でなくとも似た感情はあるかも。なんだか場が荒らされている気がする。 ランニングする場所でないという判断がつかない方はどこにでもいる。判断ウンヌン以前に言っても絶対分からないでしょう。ただ純粋な参拝者さんのためにもこういった注意書きがいたる所にあるのもどうかとも思ってしまう。 虫かご下げた子供と若いお父さんが十本杉の方に行きました。これが良いのか？そうでないのか？線引きは目に見える印象でごく曖昧なものになります。霊山とされている事もあるでしょう。神域を無断で踏み荒らされる気がするのでしょう。しかし昨今では難しい認識と対応かもしれません。 ウン十年前なんかは部活の野外運動としてお寺の階段往復とか、よくある光景でした。「頑張ってケガするなよ～！」でいいんじゃないでしょうか？　もしかしたらトレランの方々も神域で縦走するうち信心深くなるかもです。高い波動を来る度に受けているわけですから！　テレビに出る程のスピリチュアル有名人。「彼ここでトレランしてた奴なんだ。」ってなくはないかも？ いやないか。分からない人はずーっと分からない。誰でもいつか気づき理解するならみんな神様仏様になれるって図式ですもんね🎉 残念ながらトレランにちょうどいい運動量のベストポイントではありそうでした😅お寺さんも最初はカンバン出してなかったはず。 智満寺さんフェイスブックもやられてました。興味ある方はのぞいてみては？　色々と考えさせられた場所でした。

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere at Chimanji Temple was truly special. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt a sense of security, as if I was being gently embraced by the gods, and a silence that permeated deep into my soul. ✨ The sound of the wind, the rustling of the trees, everything was gentle -- it was a place that made me truly think, "I'm glad I came here." I walked slowly to the inner sanctuary, but along the way, a story about a bear I had recently seen on the news crossed my mind... I wondered if it was safe around there? Even in the silence, I felt a little nervous. On my way back, I tried to head north, but the road was narrower than I expected, the pavement was bumpy, and there was even a fallen tree along the way. 😨 It felt like the forest was testing me, and I became so anxious that I turned back. There were no signs in the parking lot, so I continued on, wondering if I was on the right path. But even so, Chimanji Temple is a truly wonderful place that purifies the soul. If you're planning on going, I'd love for you to experience that atmosphere. 🌿 Also, if you have any tips or advice on roads I should be careful of, I'd be grateful if you could let me know. (Original) 智満寺の空気は、本当に特別でした。 一歩足を踏み入れた瞬間から、まるで神様にそっと包み込まれるような安心感と、心の奥まで染みわたるような静けさ✨ 風の音も、木々のざわめきも、すべてが優しくて――「ここに来てよかった」と心から思える場所でした。 奥の院までゆっくり歩きましたが、途中でふと頭をよぎったのは、最近ニュースで見た熊の話…。 あのあたりは大丈夫だったのでしょうか？　静けさの中に少し緊張感もありました。 帰りは北へ抜けようとしたのですが、想像以上に道が狭く、舗装もガタガタで、途中には倒木まで😨 まるで森に試されているようで、さすがに不安になって引き返しました。 駐車場には特に案内もなかったので、「この道で合っているのかな？」と思いつつ進んでしまいました。 それでも――智満寺は本当に心が浄化されるような、素晴らしい場所です。 行かれる方がいたら、ぜひあの空気を感じてほしい🌿 そして、何か気をつけた方がいい道や情報があれば、教えていただけたら嬉しいです。

(Translated by Google) Previously, I used to visit the shrine every year to seek out the Yuzu deity, which was only available during the period from the winter solstice to before Setsubun. The direction in which it is enshrined is decided every year. Although the place seems to be stuck to the mountain, the Niomon gate, main hall, and other areas have a solemn atmosphere. Be careful when going up and down. I used the second parking lot, and the narrow mountain road started right in front of me across the road, so it was easy to find. There are plenty of walking sticks available, and although it is suitable for people with good legs, there were many elderly people visiting the shrine. I drove to Chimanji Temple from downtown Shimada, but the roads are narrow and it is difficult to pass each other in places, so please drive with plenty of time. (Original) 以前は毎年、冬至から節分前の時期限定のゆうずう神さまを求めに参拝しました。毎年祀る方位が決められています。 山に張り付くような場所ですが、仁王門はじめ、本堂他、荘厳な雰囲気です。昇り降りに注意。 第２駐車場利用しましたが、道路向かい側すぐ眼の前に細い山道が始まっていて、分かりやすくて良かったです。杖等もたくさん用意されており、健脚向きではありますが、ご高齢の方の参拝も多かったです。 智満寺までは島田市街地から車で行きましたが、道が狭く所々すれ違いが困難なので、余裕をもった運転で。

(Translated by Google) The stairs to the temple are so steep that you can't climb them without holding the handrail. 😅 Currently, the thatched roof of the Sanmon gate is being repaired, but it has become almost beautiful. There was a sign in front of the approach to Jubonsugi, prohibiting hikers and mountain climbers from entering the mountain. There was nothing like that before I'm a little disappointed that I can't see Jubonsugi easily anymore. (Original) お寺までの階段が急で手すりを持たないと登れないほどです。😅 現在山門の茅葺きの補修工事中でしたがほぼ綺麗になっていました。 十本杉までの参道の前には看板がありハイキングや登山の人は入山禁止になっていました。 以前はそんな事は無かったでしたが 気軽に十本杉が見れなくなってちょっと残念です。

(Translated by Google) The surrounding area is a hiking course! Even if it's cloudy, this is still the view 🔥 I was also able to confirm Shizuoka Airport! The locals are taking care of it and they have a warm personality. Speaking of the thickness of cedar, it is quite impressive✨ I felt the charm of the thatched roof ^^ Descending the stairs is of course scary, but I'm a timid person, so even when ascending the stairs, I was afraid of falling down (lol). (Original) 周辺がハイキングコースとなっています！ 曇りでも尚この景色です🔥 静岡空港も確認できました〜！ 地元の方が手入れしてくださっており，お人柄も温かいです♪ 杉の太さと言ったらかなりの迫力があります✨ 茅葺きの屋根に趣きを感じました^^ 降段はもちろん怖いのですが，小心者の私は昇段時にも"転げ落ちるのではないかと" 足がすくみ気味でした（笑）

Taking the train plus bus to Yume no Tsuribashi. Brought the 2 day pass. Lockers available.

A small, convenient and connecting train station after taking airport bus.

緑茶の駅！ Green tea land railway station! This is also the starting point for the famous Kanaya Tea Festival held every two years in the beginning of April! Next one is due in 2018! For the railway buffs: Kanaya Station was opened on May 16, 1890, a year after when the section of the Tōkaidō Main Line connecting Shizuoka with Hamamatsu was completed. The Ōigawa Railway service began on June 10, 1927. Regularly scheduled freight service was discontinued in 1971. JR Kanaya Station has a two opposing side platforms serving Track 1 and Track 2 which are on headshunts, allowing for tracks for express trains to pass in between. The platforms are connected to the station building by an underpass. The station building has automated ticket machines, TOICA automated turnstiles and a manned “Green Window” service counter. The adjacent Ōigawa Kanaya Station has a single side platform. The platform is equipped with Selective Door Operation, as trains longer than four cars in length are too long for the platform. The station originally was built with a terminal headshunt, which is no longer in existence.

We can get on Japanese traditional choo choo train here!

Quiet rural station with green lush surrounding of green tea fields!

(Translated by Google) It's a rural station. There's basically nothing around, but it has all the necessary functions, so it's fine for a rural station. (Original) 田舎な駅です。 基本的に周りにも何も無いですが、必要機能は備えているので田舎な駅としては十分です。

(Translated by Google) This is a local station where the JR line and the Oigawa Railway line run parallel to each other. You can enter directly, but please note that there are no shops on the JR side of the platform. While waiting, I killed time by watching freight trains and other things. (Original) JR線と大井川鐵道が並行するローカルな駅。そのまま乗り入れができますが、JR側ホームにはお店などは無いのでご注意ください。待ち時間は貨物列車など眺めるなどして時間をつぶしました。

Staff is really kind but the burger was the worst burger i have ever eaten. Im sorry.

No great flavour, next time go ramen

(Translated by Google) There is a dining space dedicated to Mac on the right side of the store, and each counter seat has an outlet for convenience. Additionally, each seat has a QR code for mobile ordering, so you can shop without lining up. I didn't notice this the first time I used it, so I think I'll use mobile ordering next time. (Original) 店舗右にマック専用の飲食スペースがあり、カウンター席には各席にコンセントがありますので便利です。また、各席にモバイルオーダーのQRコードが貼ってあるので、並ばずに買えるようです。 初の利用でそれに気づかずだったので、次回からはモバイルオーダーを利用しようかと思います😊

The store asked me to come back over the phone and gave me two options: exchange or refund. Is this...a manual?

(Translated by Google) I went to Apita in Shimada for the first time in a while. The table seat across from Apita's Mac, which I haven't seen in a while, is no longer available, but there is a spacious eat-in space on the right side of the counter. It's relatively empty on weekdays, so I recommend it to Mac lovers🩷👍 (Original) 久しぶりに、島田のアピタに行って来ました。久しぶりのアピタのマック向かいのテーブル席がなくなってしまいましたが、カウンター右側に広々したイートインスペースがあります。平日なら、比較的空いてるのでマック好き🩷には推しですね～👍

(Translated by Google) I used it before stopping at Horai Bridge when I went sightseeing by bicycle in Shimada. I didn't know how to go to Horai Bridge from JR Shimada Station, so I asked a person passing by, and they told me, ``Apitaka is over here'', so I thought, ``Well, let's stop by Apita.'' Then I realized that there was a Mac. Since it was a weekday, I didn't think there would be any customers, but I think the only time Mac's is so empty is when it's a 24-hour store and it's late at night. It was so empty that I thought it would be. The atmosphere inside Apita has a really local feel, and if you say it's easy to settle in, my impression is that it's Mac. I used it on my bike ride and on my way home, so I could have a coffee and rest before going to the station. I use McDonald's all over the place, so having it in Shimada was a great relief. (Original) 島田に輪行で、自転車観光に行ったときに、蓬莱橋に寄る前に利用しました。 JR島田駅から蓬莱橋に行くのに、どう行けばいいかわからなかったので、通りすがりの人に聞いたら、「アピタカらこっちに~ 」と教えていただいて、じゃあ、アピタに寄って行こう、となってマックあるんだ、と入りました。 平日だったので、そりゃあ、お客さんはいないだろうとは思ったものの、マックでこんなに人が入っていないのは、24時間営業店舗で深夜帯くらいじゃないだろうか？ と思われるほど空いていました。 アピタ内の空気感もそうですが、ほんと、ローカルな感じで、落ち着きやすい、って言えば、落ち着きやすいマックだなあ、って印象です。 自転車で走って、帰りにも、駅に行く前にコーヒー飲んで休んでいこう、って利用させていただきました。 マクドナルドはあちこちで、よく利用させていただいているので、島田にあって助かリましたね。

The best Ramen in Shimada City!!! Good restaurant with easy access parking, very friendly staff, and the best ramen in the city.

congratulation! honestly true Japanese ramen is certified delicious.start from the soup again and again taste it until get the perfect taste.

(Translated by Google) Because it is a popular restaurant, it fills up quickly before noon. Ordered pork Chinese food for today only. Soup! delicious! I even finished the soup for the first time in a while. Also, since the large portion is not available for today only, I ordered a replacement. Unlike the first noodles, this time they are thin noodles. It tasted like a different type of ramen and I enjoyed it twice. The half-fried rice bowl was quite large and filled my stomach. It was a very satisfying lunch. The store is clean and the employees are very kind. (Original) 人気店のため、お昼前にあっという間に満席になります。本日限定の豚中華を注文。スープが！美味しい！久しぶりのスープまで完食。また、本日限定は大盛りが、できないとのことで、替え玉を注文。最初の麺と違って、今度は細麺。違うラーメンのようなテイストになって、二度楽しめました。 半チャーハンかまなかなかの量で、お腹パンパン。大満足のランチになりました。 店内きれいで、店員さんも、とても親切です。

(Translated by Google) I started working in Shimada and got excited talking about ramen with a colleague. We heard that Tsubame is famous in Shimada, so we decided to go. (July 2022) The first ramen I tried was Tsubame Ramen Soy Sauce. I thought it was delicious, but perhaps my expectations were too high based on the reviews, so I wasn't too impressed. When I mentioned it to my colleague, he said, "Tsubame is salt!" I remember telling him, "You should have told me that first!" (lol) Then, I tried the salt ramen next, but I preferred the soy sauce. Since then, I've tried ramens other than back fat and curry, and finally settled on [Tekazan Bonito Soy Sauce]. It's the only ramen I order every time I go. The bonito flavor is refreshing yet rich. The thin noodles blend perfectly with the soup, making it the best. With char siu, green onions, condiments, green vegetables, bamboo shoots, and seaweed, it's a great bowl of ramen that you won't get bored of and can enjoy until the very end. I went during morning ramen time, so a small serving of rice was included, which was also great. It left me feeling happy and not wanting to slack off...but it gave me energy for work. I went there for about two years, but then moved to a different location for work and couldn't go back for a while. However, I've recently been working in Shimada again, so I've been dropping in from time to time. I only have one month left of work in Shimada, so I'd like to visit again while I can. I wish other branches would offer Tekazan and Asa Ramen too... Thank you for the meal, as always. (Original) 島田で仕事をすることになって同僚とラーメンの話で盛り上がり島田と言えば燕が有名と言うので行ってみました。（2022/7） 初めて頂いたのは燕ラーメン醤油 美味しいとは思いましたが前評判で期待し過ぎていたのかそれ程と思えず同僚に話したところ「燕は塩だよ！」と言われ先に言ってくれ！と言ったのを覚えてます。（笑） で、次に塩を頂きましたが私には醤油の方が美味しく以降、背脂とかカレー以外を食べてみて行き着いたのが【手火山かつお醤油】行く度にこれしか頼んでないです。 かつおが効いてスッキリしつつも味わい深く 細麺がスープによく絡み最高。 チャーシュー、ねぎ、薬味、青菜にメンマに海苔と飽きさせないまま最後まで食す事が出来る最高の一杯です。 朝ラーの時間帯に行くので小ライスが付くのも良き。 朝から幸せな気分で仕事をサボりたく…じゃなく仕事への活力をもらえます。 2年ほど通い別の地での仕事となり暫く行けてませんでしたが最近また島田で仕事をしていたので時折お邪魔しています。 島田での仕事もあとひと月なので今のうちにまた伺いたいと思います。 他店でも手火山と朝ラーやってくれれば良いのに… いつもご馳走様です。

(Translated by Google) Came here to eat ra in the morning. I ordered salt ramen. Super delicious Apparently, rice is served free of charge in the morning. I wanted to try fried rice and gyoza, but they don't seem to be on the menu for breakfast. I'll try it around noon next time. The only drawback is that the parking lot is narrow. (Original) 朝ラーを食べに来店。 塩ラーメンを頼みました。 めっちゃ美味しい 朝はライスが無料でつくそうです。 チャーハンと餃子も食べたかったけど、朝はメニューにないみたいです。 今度はお昼頃いってみます。 唯一駐車場が狭いのが難点。

(Translated by Google) I visited for lunch as I heard their shio ramen is famous. Hmm, it was certainly tasty, but I'm not sure if it was that good. I forgot to take a photo, but I thought the fried rice was a little on the bland side. The staff were very polite and the service was impeccable. (Original) 塩ラーメンが有名との事で、お昼に伺いました。 うーん確かに美味しんだけど、そこまで評価するほどかなぁ。 写真に撮り忘れましたがチャーハンは少し味が薄いかなと感じました。 お店の方々は非常に丁寧で接客は申し分なしです。

(Translated by Google) The salt ramen is already excellent, but the curry is incredibly tasty😋. I always look forward to the lunch service🍛. The salt ramen is good, but the miso ramen is also recommended✨ (Original) 塩ラーメンは元々、絶品だがカレーがめちゃくちゃ旨い😋。いつもランチサービスの日が楽しみです🍛。塩も良いが、味噌もおすすめです✨

The meat has a rich flavor, and you really feel like you're eating meat. It’s quite crowded, so you’ll have to wait a while, but you can step outside.(December 28,2024)

Nice staff, great food. Try the bread!

The staff were very attentive to the doneness of the hamburger steak. Thank you for your consideration.

(Translated by Google) [Recommended Points]: Even among the Shizuoka local chain "Sawayaka," this restaurant has a reputation for being a hidden gem with relatively short wait times. The spacious and convenient parking lot and friendly staff are a plus. [Food & Drink]: The signature dish is, of course, the "Genkotsu Hamburger." Grilled over charcoal, it's juicy and full of meat juice. It's also popular with onion sauce or salt and pepper. The pot-au-feu and onion gratin soup included in the set menu are also delicious!    [Service & Atmosphere]: The staff were incredibly hospitable, and they were attentive to the water and the doneness of the steak.  [Information]: Hours: Mon-Wed & Fri 10:45-22:00 (Last Order 21:00), Sat 10:20-22:00, Sun & Holidays 10:30-22:00.   Closed: Every Thursday (Check for holidays and New Year's holidays)    [Access]: Approximately an 18-21 minute (1.4 km) walk from JR Shimada Station. By car, it's about a 20-25 minute drive from the nearest interchange, and there's parking for about 30 cars.  [Summary]: Enjoy the classic "local hamburger" flavor at the Shimada branch, the Sawayaka. Enjoy the lively performance of the steaks being grilled on a hot plate, consistently delicious, and attentive service. If you have the time, try visiting when it's less crowded.

(Translated by Google) Sawayaka is a popular restaurant known for its delicious hamburgers. I arrived around 7pm on a weekday evening and waited about 30 minutes. It seems to be even more popular than before. The knuckle hamburger is popular, and I always order it. It's often delicious when cooked, but this time I ordered it rare. You can choose between onion sauce or demi-glace sauce for your hamburger. It also tastes better with a little pepper or salt on the table (I started doing this after the staff explained to me the recommended way to eat it). (Original) ハンバーグの美味しい店として人気のさわやか、平日夜19時頃入店で約30分の待ち、前よりますます人気だなぁと思いました。 ゲンコツハンバーグが人気で、自分も毎回注文しています。よく焼きも美味しいのですが、今回はレアで。ハンバーグには、オニオンソースかデミグラスソースを選ぶことができます。また食べる時にテーブルにある、コショウまたは塩をほんの少しつけて食べると美味しいです（店員さんにおすすめの食べ方で説明を前に受けてから、自分はつけるようになりました。）。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by after seeing Thomas at Shin-Kanaya Station. Sawayaka Hamburg is one of the things I look forward to when I visit Shizuoka. I forgot to take a photo of the hamburger itself, but I ordered the fist-sized hamburger, which was perfectly medium, and savored the deliciousness. This is a famous restaurant that I would love to see open a branch in Kanagawa. The staff's high level of service is also a model of the customer service industry, and I think this is a truly wonderful restaurant. While waiting for my food, I could enjoy spot-the-difference games, and I was impressed by their service strategy, as I was able to toast with the staff on the special offer drink. I want to try this hamburger right away, but I'll save it for the next time I visit Shizuoka. (Original) 新金谷駅でトーマスを見た後に伺いました。 さわやかハンバーグは静岡に来た時の楽しみでもあります。 肝心のハンバーグの写真を撮り忘れましたが、げんこつハンバーグを注文し、極上のミディアムをいただき、美味しさに幸せを噛み締めました。 是非神奈川にも出店してほしい名店でございます。 スタッフの方達も接客業の鏡のような高いサービスレベルで、本当に素晴らしい店舗だと思います。 食事を待つ間は間違い探しで楽しみながら待てますし、お得な乾杯ドリンクはスタッフの方と一緒に乾杯をして、非常に粋な計らいだと、そのサービス戦略に感心しました。 今すぐにでも食べたいハンバーグですが、次回の静岡観光の際の楽しみにしておきます。

(Translated by Google) When it comes to Shizuoka hamburger chains, Sawayaka is the place to go. Their hamburger steaks are theirs, especially their fist-sized hamburgers. So it's incredibly popular with families, and when I got there around 7:45pm, I was told there was a 1 hour 40 minute wait and was given a numbered ticket. People who arrived a little later were turned away because their wait time was past the last order time. I was shown to my seat around 1 hour 30 minutes later and ordered the restaurant's recommended fist-sized hamburger steak with onion sauce. It arrived in about 10 minutes. The staff cut the steak, which was still half-cooked, right there on the piping hot iron plate, and grilled it to the final finish. The steak has a slightly spiced flavor, so tastes may differ, but the quality of the meat is excellent. The staff are also very friendly, and their energetic and brisk movements around the restaurant are refreshing. If it weren't for the wait, I'd definitely return. (Original) 静岡のハンバーグチェーンと言えば、さわやか。それもげんこつハンバーグ。 と言うことで家族連れに超人気で、19時45分ぐらいに行ったら、1時間40分待ちと言われ整理券をもらいました。もう少し後から来た人は、案内時間がラストオーダー時間超えになると断られました。 1時間30分ぐらいで案内され店おすすめのげんこつハンバーグ、オニオンソースで注文。10分ほどで着板。熱々の鉄板にまだ中焼けぐらいのハンバーグを店員さんがテーブル上でカットし最後の仕上げ焼きをしてくれます。 味は、ちょっと香料が効いたハンバーグで好みが分かれるところですが、肉質はバッチリです。 後、店員の応対がよく、店内を元気よく、キビキビと移動してる姿も爽やかです。 待ち時間さえなければ、リピートしたいところです。

Wonderful place with beautiful scenery, delicious meal and affordable price. The dessert is a top-nocth for me ❤️✨ Must visit when you are in Kanaya.

The best place I have visited till now around Hamamatsu, Great for couples who want to spend some quality time!! The availability of the window seats depends on the day you choose, so make a reservation to avoid any last minute hassle. (You can still go without reservation though). They also offer birthday plate as a service!!

Delicious pasta and a great buffet. Buffet and drink bar(non-alchoholic) are included with entree. Prices are very reasonable and staff was very friendly and attentive. The view of the mountains and Mt Fuji in particular as well as the town below is breathtaking and worth going for on it's own. Will definitely go back when I return to the area.

The place is relaxing with overlooking view and the food is delicious and they have a good service. I recommend this place. I'm sure you will enjoy spending time with family and friends here.

Foods are delicious and night seeing...its little expensive but i know it fits for your budget..

The view was very nice and food was amazing

Awesome place very nice staff.

(Translated by Google) My son and his wife invited me here for my birthday. All the food was delicious, but I don't remember it very well because I was so overwhelmed by the happy news he shared after the meal (he's about to have a baby). I'd like to go back and enjoy the food again sometime. (Original) 誕生日に息子夫婦が招待してくれました。どの料理も美味しかったのですが、食後の嬉しい報告(もうすぐ赤ちゃんが生まれる)のほうが記憶に勝ってあまりよく覚えていません。今度、ゆっくりまた食べに行きたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I used it for lunch. I chose a fish dish and it was filling and delicious. The staff's service is also good, and I think it's a good value for money given the high prices. (Original) ランチで利用しました。 魚料理を選びましたが食べ応えがあり、美味しかったです。 店員さんのサービスも良く、この物価高でこの値段ならコスパが高いと思います。

(Translated by Google) I visited for lunch on a holiday. There is a parking lot right in front of the restaurant. I think local residents have often seen this restaurant on TV commercials. The atmosphere in the restaurant was not bad, and the service was good. I had the roast pork, which was delicious. (Original) 休日のランチで訪問。 駐車場はお店の目の前にあります。 県民の方はCMでよく見ているお店だと思います。 お店の雰囲気は悪くなく、接客もしっかりしていました。 ローストポーク頂きましたが美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Thanks to this restaurant, I can dine here with great satisfaction even on the most important days^_^ (Original) 感謝這家餐廳,最重要的日子我都可以非常滿意的用餐在這裡^_^

(Translated by Google) We had lunch. There were several options to choose from, but I chose the fish dish. The food was very delicious and the prices were reasonable.The timing of the food delivery was perfect, and I was impressed when I saw how often they were looking at the customers. The atmosphere inside the store is also good, so I highly recommend it! (Original) ランチをいただきました。幾つかの中から選べるのですが魚料理にしました。とても美味しくてお値段もリーズナブル♪料理を運んで来るタイミングも絶妙で、よくお客様を見ていらっしゃると感心しました。店内の雰囲気も良いのでおススメです！

(Translated by Google) I received the 5000 yen course. The customer service is kind and polite, and the taste of the food is satisfying. There are only 6 tables inside, probably due to coronavirus precautions, so reservations are required. (Original) 5000円のコースをいただきました。 接客は親切丁寧、料理の味も満足。 店内はコロナの対策のためか6テーブルなので予約が必要。

(Translated by Google) I was satisfied. It's worth the price. What really makes me think of Harada Seicha is that they offer sencha as an after-meal drink. It was a very delicious tea. (Original) 満足しました。値段相応ですね。 さすがハラダ製茶と思うのは、食事後のドリンクに煎茶があるところ。 すごく美味しいお茶でした。
