Iya no Kazurabashi
“Iya no Kazurabashi,” known as one of Japan’s three largest strange bridges, is made by putting together five tons of vines, replaced every three years. The bridge is full of thrills, creaking and shaking with every step you take (the bridge, which is 45 meters long, two meters wide and 14 meters above the water, is designated as an important tangible folk cultural property by the state).
