The land was cultivated by some 250 former samurai who had lost their jobs in the <em>hanseki hokan<\/em> reforms of the early Meiji period (1868\u20131912). Horai Bridge was built at the request of these ex-samurai class farmers. Since the bridge was completed, a toll has been collected from people other than the farmers, and that system continues today with the toll set at 100 yen for adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0554-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0554-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0554-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0554-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0554.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Having crossed the wildly windy Horai Bridge, we pedal leisurely along the course of the Shimada Oigawa Marathon in Liberty, running parallel to the Oi River, and make our way toward Oigawa Port.

Across the street from the hotel is the Mochimune Port Spa, where you can take another bath before going to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0392-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0392-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0392-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0392-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0392-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0393-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0393-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0393-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0393-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0393-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cClean and smooth\u2014delicious!\u201d says Takuya.

We pedal to the other side of Mochimune Fishing Port and along the breakwater of Hirono Seaside Park, enter the Pacific Cycling Road, cross the Abe River, and continue along the cycling road. The Pacific Cycling Road is a 1,487-kilometer-long route from Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, to Wakayama City, Wakayama Prefecture. The section in Shizuoka offers a comfortable ride with views of Suruga Bay on the right and Mt. Fuji straight ahead. At Ohama Park we exit the Pacific Cycling Road and follow the ordinary road to Shizuoka Station. We make our way to the station\u2019s north exit, and from there head to Sumpu Castle Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0420-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0420-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0420-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0420-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0420.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sumpu Castle Park, surrounded by two moats and beautiful stone walls, preserves the grounds of the castle built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in the 17th century. The Higashi Gomon gate and the Tatsumi Yagura and Hitsujisaru Yagura turrets have been reconstructed. We walk our bikes through the Higashi Gomon gate and enter the Ninomaru complex. On weekends, Aoi Bune services are available to circle the Ninomaru moat in a small boat, providing a good chance to park your bike and admire the castle\u2019s stone walls and Mt. Fuji from the water. The vast park inside the moat serves as a place of recreation and relaxation for the local residents. Momijiyama Garden serves matcha tea for visitors exploring the garden and admiring the seasonal flora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0342-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0342-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0342-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0342-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0342.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We walk our bikes through the Higashi Gomon gate and enter the Ninomaru complex of Sumpu Castle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0370-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0370-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0370-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0370-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0370.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Snack time in Sumpu Castle Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After Sumpu Castle Park, we explore the Sumpu townscape. Ieyasu designed the castle town of Sumpu in a grid plan. The town also served as Fuchu-juku, one of the largest post stations on the Tokaido, and thrived as a political and economic center. Traces of Sumpu\u2019s golden age remain in the stone monuments marking the sites of the former <em>honjin<\/em> and <em>waki-honjin<\/em> inns for government officials, in the grid-plan townscape, and in the names of the districts. The town was divided into districts by the occupation of the craftsmen and merchants living there, and named accordingly\u2014Gofuku-cho (dry goods district), Koya-machi (dyers\u2019 district), Ryogae-cho (money exchange district), and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we listened and learned about the local history, we arrived at one of Rie and Takuya\u2019s favorite caf\u00e9s. Hibari Books &amp; Coffee is a bookstore of new publications and a caf\u00e9 rolled into one and serves coffee and tea. Its excellent selection focusing on foreign literature, poetry anthologies, light humanities works, and hobbies books attracts regulars from outside Shizuoka Prefecture. Also with a Friday Book Club organized irregularly, inviting participants to discuss a particular title, Hibari serves as a third place for book lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0480-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-101001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0480-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0480-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0480-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0480-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/batch_chabeck-0480.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The coffee at Hibari Books &amp; Coffee is from the specialty coffee roaster Coffea Exlibris, in the Shimokitazawa neighborhood of Tokyo, run by the Hibari proprietor\u2019s older brother.
