This is a 140-meter-long pedestrian suspension bridge which connects the Kinugawa hot spring resort to the Place of Scenic Beauty， “Tateiwa” (lit. Shield Rock). Below the bridge which has a height of about 40 meters， you can see the Kinugawa River， and you can enjoy the mountains which are dyed crimson and yellow during the season of autumn colors. Standing near to the suspension bridge， “Tateiwa” as its name suggests resembles the shape of a shield. It is also known as the “marriage bridge” as it connects the two， both the manly “Tateiwa” which rises up opposite the bridge and the feminine Kinugawa River which leisurely flows past."
