6. Ponte Iya Kazurabashi, Japan

Advertisement
Deep within the Iya Valley, the Kazurabashi Bridge gets constructed from mountain vines, reflecting ancient customs of rural Japan. Crossing this bridge becomes a trip through history, as the groaning vines and moving planks emphasize the bridge's delicate character. For additional safety, steel cables weave through the vines every three years, yet the crossing remains an exciting and somewhat unsettling experience, especially when you glimpse through openings at the distant river below.
