かささぎ大橋, Rigid-frame bridge over Lake Nakaumi between Sakaiminato and Eshima, Japan.

The Eshima Ohashi Bridge extends 1.7 kilometers across Lake Nakaumi with gradients of 6.1% on the Shimane side and 5.1% on the Tottori side.

Completed in 2004, this structure replaced an older drawbridge that limited traffic to vehicles under 14 tons and required frequent interruptions for passing ships.

The bridge gained international recognition after appearing in a Daihatsu commercial that highlighted its steep gradients and structural design.

Visitors can reach the bridge by walking two kilometers from Sakaiminato Station, with telescopes available along the route for viewing surrounding landscapes.

The bridge's optical illusion effect, created by specific photography angles, makes it appear steeper than its actual gradients suggest.
