Oku-Iya Double Vine Bridge
奥祖谷二重かずら橋
The Oku-Iya Niju-Kazura Bridge is a secluded bridge surrounded by beautiful scenery.
It is said that the bridge was built about 800 years ago by the Heike clan to go to Mt Tsurugi.
Because two Kazura bridges, one male bridge and one female bridge, cross side by side, they are commonly called “Otoko-bashi Onna-bashi” (male bridge and female bridge) and “Meoto-bashi” (married couple bridge), respectively.
Nearby is “Yaen,” where visitors can cross a mountain stream while pulling a rope, making it a representative sightseeing spot of Okusha.
The bridge is made from a native plant called “shirakuchikazura.
