Mori no Ohashi Bridge

Reviewed By 101That - Singapore, Singapore

This bridge is located at the intersection of Route 212 and the road leading to Hachimantai Spa Village. It takes roughly 8 minutes and 20 minutes to walk to the bridge from Hachimantai Royal hotel and Hachimantai Resort hotel respectively. The panoramic view of coloured mountains rolling into the horizon is a definite “must-see” if you are in this area during autumn. The vista seems to be quite ordinary without the colourful autumn foliage, though. Winds can be fairly strong on the bridge because of the deep gorge.
