6. Iya Kazurabashi Bridge, Japan

Extending across the picturesque Iya Valley in Tokushima, Japan, the Iya Kazurabashi Bridge is an outstanding example of traditional engineering. Constructed primarily from mountain vines, this suspension bridge has a legacy of over 800 years, initially built to assist locals in crossing the deep valley. Though traveling on vines might appear dangerous, the bridge is consistently maintained for safety, with fresh steel cables installed every three years. Covering 45 meters (148 feet) and suspended 14 meters (46 feet) above the river, the bridge's large gaps and swaying movement create an thrilling crossing.
The Iya Kazurabashi Bridge is a beloved tourist destination, providing insight into Japan's rural tradition and magnificent mountain landscapes.
