Kazurabashi Bridge

About half-way done with the family vacation to Shikoku and we crossed the Kazurabashi Bridge in the Iya Valley. There are several of these bridges located in this area. Back when there were fewer river crossings and less sturdy construction, these bridges were made solely out of natural vines. Today, it seems that these vines have a steel cable center. It made me less neverous, but only slightly since the gaps between the slates were still quite large. My 9-year old daughter opted out from crossing because she thought that the slats were too wide and that her foot would go through.
