They look so peaceful and part of the environment. Don't let Indiana Jones anywhere near them!

Haha, that's perfect! The bridges look tranquil, but they certainly get your heart racing. Thanks for the laugh!

that's a beautifull article about one of the most beautifull places i have been to in japan, Japan is dense but shikoku is wild still, the turquoise colored rivers flowing next to me while getting to the bridge on a bicycle, that's a memory inked in my head and still brings a smile on my face, even with distracted life of consumtion i am living in i still remember those memories, i was lucky to experience shikoku in the time of the spring and sakura blossoms flying everywhere,i slept under them in a forest of sakura that was said to be planted by a monk along his life time.

Japan is gorgeous and thier people wise and lovely, i wish i can go back one day

Thank you so much for your comment.

It truly means a lot to us that someone like you holds such deep appreciation for the nature and culture of Japan.

Your story about sleeping beneath the cherry blossoms planted over a monk’s lifetime was especially moving—not just for the beauty of the blossoms, but for the way you honored the quiet dedication and meaning behind them.

To know that such gentle scenes of Japan continue to live on in someone’s memory—it’s a gift to us as well.

We hope that someday, you’ll be able to return to Japan and reconnect with those beautiful places once again.
