6. Ponte Iya Kazurabashi, Japan

Nestled in the remote Iya Valley, the Kazurabashi Bridge is crafted from mountain vines, a nod to ancient Japanese traditions. Crossing it feels like stepping back in time, with creaking vines and swaying planks underscoring its delicate construction. Steel cables, woven in every three years for safety, offer some reassurance, yet the journey remains thrilling and slightly unnerving, especially as you glimpse the river far below through the gaps.
