The Kokonoe 'Yume' Otsurihashi stretches 390 metres across the dramatic Kuzuryu Gorge at a vertiginous height of 173 metres, making it Japan's longest and highest pedestrian suspension bridge. In autumn, the gorge walls and surrounding highlands transform into a spectacular tapestry of red, orange, and gold maples framing the Shindo and Harajiri waterfalls far below. The combination of height, movement, and vivid foliage creates a truly thrilling sensory experience. Clear autumn skies also afford views towards the Kuju mountain range draped in seasonal colour.
