The Iya Kazurabashi Bridge in Japan is one of the last remaining vine bridges from the country’s feudal era.
Made from woven vines and wooden planks, the bridge spans 45 meters across the Iya River.
The vines are periodically replaced, but the bridge’s rustic construction and the fact that it sways with the slightest breeze make crossing it a terrifying experience. Despite its danger, the Iya Kazurabashi Bridge remains a popular destination for tourists looking for a traditional and thrilling adventure.
