堂ヶ島のゆるぎ橋, Suspension bridge in Dogashima, Japan.
Yurugi Bridge is a suspension bridge in Dogashima that spans across the ocean and connects two points on the rocky coastline. The structure guides visitors between observation platforms where they can view the surrounding seascape and rock formations.
The bridge was built in the 1990s as part of a plan to increase tourism in western Izu. The project came from a desire to make this coastal area more accessible to visitors.
The bridge connects visitors to local experiences, including sea turtle nesting sites, marine research stations, and traditional fishing communities.
Wear shoes with good grip since the bridge surface becomes slippery when wet. It is best to visit early in the day when weather is more stable and crowds are smaller.
The bridge structure is intentionally designed to sway with the wind, and pedestrians feel a gentle movement beneath their feet. This sensation of motion makes crossing it an unforgettable experience.
