Ayanoteruhaotsuri Bridge — Attraction in Aya

A lovely bridge with a stunning landscape beneath. Entrance fee is about ¥200 and you get a cute postcard as your ticket. There's a free museum which shows the wildlife of the area. Over the bridge, there is a short but steep walk up to a shrine, though I wouldn't say it's worth the trek up. A bit out of the way but well worth a visit if you're in the area. There's free parking right next to it, toilets, vending machines and some locals selling...
