Horaibashi Bridge, which crosses the Oi River, is a wooden footbridge with a total length of 897.4 meters and a width of 2.4 meters, and is still used as a farm road ✨✨✨ Also, when the weather is good, you can see Mt. Fuji 🗻 from the bridge. This bridge was certified by the Guinness World Records on December 30, 1997 as the "longest wooden footbridge in the world" due to its length, and is considered a valuable historical land improvement facility that attracts many tourists from inside and outside the prefecture 😌 In addition, wooden bridge = long trees = long life, and the wordplay of "total length 897.4 (yaku-nashi)" makes it a familiar "bridge to ward off evil", and it is loved by many people as a lucky place 🥹
⚠️Caution⚠️ The handrail of the bridge is only about knee-height for adults. There is a risk of falling, so we recommend that small children hold hands tightly when crossing.
