Shizuoka/Yaku-nashi (897.4) Bridge

#0yentravelnovember The Horai Bridge over the Oi River is a wooden footbridge with a total length of 897.4 meters and a width of 2.4 meters. It is still used as a farm road, and is visited by many tourists from inside and outside the prefecture as a valuable historical land improvement facility. It is famous as one of the few toll bridges in Japan, and on December 30, 1997, it was certified by the British company Guinness as the "longest wooden footbridge in the world." Long tree = long life bridge, total length 897.4 (yaku-nashi = no misfortune) is a play on words, so it is popular as an auspicious bridge.
