A 280-meter, 50-meter-high wooden-plank pedestrian suspension bridge spanning a forested gorge in Hoshida Prefectural Forest Park — one of Japan's largest wooden suspension footbridges — offering 360-degree panoramic views over the treetops. The forest below turns red and gold through November, when the crossing is at its most striking.
