Koorogi Bridge

A bridge made entirely of hinoki cypress crossing the Daishoji River in the Yamanaka Onsen hot spring resort area.
Many tourists visit throughout the year.

There are a variety of theories as to the origin of the bridge’s name; one theory says that the area was once called “行路(koro : path)-危(gi: dangerous)” due to its perilous nature, while another theory states that the name comes from the crickets (“koorogi” in Japanese) which sing in abundance in autumn.
