The rocky suspension bridge made of old vines, the narrow and long suspension bridge that you will soon see on the other side… The suspension bridge in the valley is a good place to enjoy the red leaves from a unique perspective when autumn comes. Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Chinese version: Nikkei Chinese website) invited experts to choose the top ten secret places in Japan where you can experience the fascinating suspension bridge and enjoy the red leaves at the same time.
Experts invited this time:

No. 10 Fujimi Bridge (Shimogo City, Fukushima Prefecture)
190 minutes has a panoramic view of green river water and red-yellow mountains
This suspension bridge is built at the mouth of the “Taigai” rock, which was formed through a million years of erosion and weathering and is a designated natural monument of Japan. The suspension bridge is 37 meters long and 8.5 meters high, although it is not large, its elegant form that connects with the surrounding scenery is incomparable.
During the season of red leaves, the red leaves are reflected in the green water of the Okawa River, “there are red and yellow around it, and the colors are bright” (Komatsu). “You can look at the rocks created by the erosion of the river, the red leaves and the suspension bridge at the same time,” Yida said.

This is a suspension bridge located in “Seto Gokyo”, which is famous for its beautiful valley and autumn leaf scenery. The suspension bridge is built between the steep cliffs of the canyon, with a length of about 70 meters, and it is worth mentioning the height of 100 meters.

No. 8 Shiomi Falls Suspension Bridge (Takahagi City, Ibaraki Prefecture)
215 perfect mood points, red carpet
This is a 60-meter long log suspension bridge that spans the Hanaguki Valley. Kayama said: “The elements of height and pleasure are small, but full marks of feeling can be obtained. You can get up close to scenic spots such as the stream and Shiomi Falls, and enjoy the majestic beauty of the valley.
The red leaves cover the suspension bridge, creating a “tunnel of red leaves”. The red leaf forest around the suspension bridge “looks like the red leaves were deliberately dropped on the bridge, and a red carpet was spread on the straight line of the bridge” ( Komatsu).There will also be lights after sunset. Completely different from the views during the day, the tunnel of maple leaves on the deep red color will give you a different taste.
