Iya Valley's Kazurabashi Bridge by Visit Japan AU

Made by weaving together vines by hand and are now reinforced and rebuilt every three years. They were commonly believed to have been constructed by the defeated Heike soldiers who fled from their Genji pursuers in the 12th century. The suspension bridges were meant to keep out outsiders, as they could easily be cut down if enemies approached.
