22 Terrifying Bridges Around the World That Will Test Your Courage

6. Ponte Iya Kazurabashi, Japan

Deep in the Iya Valley, the Kazurabashi Bridge is woven from mountain vines, echoing the ancient traditions of rural Japan. Crossing this bridge is a journey into the past, as the creaking vines and swaying planks remind you of the bridge’s fragile nature. For added security, steel cables are intertwined with the vines every three years, but the crossing remains an exhilarating and slightly unnerving experience, especially as you peer through the gaps at the river far below.
