6. Iya Kazurabashi Bridge, Japan
Advertisement
The word "kazurabashi" translates to "mountain vine," which perfectly describes the unique construction of this bridge spanning the Iya Valley in Japan. Built entirely from mountain vines, the Kazurabashi Bridge offers a glimpse into traditional Japanese engineering. To ensure safety, the government reinforces the bridge with steel cables every three years, as the vines alone are not permanently safe for walking. This historic bridge provides both a thrilling crossing and a connection to Japan's rich cultural heritage.
