Japan's Most Terrifying Bridge: Eshima Ohashi

It's been nicknamed the ROLLER COASTER BRIDGE because of it's super steep slope and appearance of being a bridge to the sky.
That's the Eshima Ohashi Bridge straddling Shimane and Tottori prefecture in Japan.
Facts about the Eshima Ohashi:
★ 1,446 meters long
★ 250 meters of continupus concrete in the center (the third longest Ramen bridge in the world!)
★ 6.1% grade slope on the Shimane Prefecture side
★ 5.1% grade on the Tottori side
★ The bridge needed to be high in the center to allow large shops to pass under.
☆ From the Shimane side, you can get the optical illusion view at the end of the street by the sea.
☆ If you have a good telephoto lens, go even further to the other side of the sea for a better shot. (Map below)
The bridge has a good pedestrian footpath on both sides of the road.
Bicycles are not allowed on the footpath so stay on the main road with the car, to the left side.
There is an observation point on the top that offers sweeping views all the way to Daisen (mountain).
The closest major access point is Yonago Station and airport on the Sea of Japan. From there, take a train to Sakaiminato and rent a bicycle or grab a taxi.
Sakaiminato is also famous for Japanese anime and the main street is like a museum of monsters!
The bridge is a 20 minute ride from Sakai Minato.
Take food with you from the station.

    Thanks for all the comments! Here's some feedback. *The Bridge was made famous in a Hyundai Car TV commercial: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5umpNZ6lbi7mZs.html 1) It's illegal to ride on the sidewalk with pedestrians in Japan -- you can ride up with the cars OR walk with your bicycle on the sidewalk. I was with a city official and had to follow the law, show the correct way. 2) Most Japanese do not use helmets -- if I'd found one, I would have used it. Although moving fast, I made sure the brakes were working, the tires were okay etc. 3) Seats in Japanese one-speed bikes were made for people 10 cm shorter than me. It wouldn't ride anymore sadly. 4) I'd recommend doing this only if you're in good shape and have checked out your bicycle. Accidents happen and please use caution. As stated earlier, I had a city official with me in case something happened and was well prepared. The purpose of the show was to check out this bridge that had been on the news outside Japan and see what it's like -- hope you got a feel for it and visit Yonago via the SUNRISE IZUMO train! Thanks for watching. -John

    +WAORYU ONLYinJAPAN That sure is not much of a space for a bicycle to ride on if a wide truck was to come along. Here in Canada about 20 bicyclists a year get killed after getting hit by cars, that is why I ride my bike off the roads and on the sidewalks here in the Kitchener-Waterloo area of Canada. I had a friend I knew who told me that I was crazy for riding on the sidewalks and that riding on the road was safe. 6 months later a car side-swiped Chris while he was out riding and he suffered serious injuries. A few days later he passed away. Now its been 7 years and I'm still unharmed, alive, and safe, all because I stick to riding on pedestrian-free sidewalks. If I come to a part of the sidewalk that has people on it, then I either leave the sidewalk or I get off my bike and walk it until I pass the people. I do this because the sidewalks are made for people, not for bikes, I just 'borrow' the sidewalk when there are no people on it. If my friend had done this he would still be alive today.

    Honesty Counts That's why local authorities should build more cyclist lanes. Safer for cyclists and pedestrians. I stopped riding bicycles when I moved to London. Too scared to ride on the road. It's illegal to ride on the pavement here too.

Besides cyclist and pedestrian could use this locked side strip at the same time, maybe this yellow line is for that

    Thanks Cliff. I have toured Japan by bicycle before and have HAD TO gone over such bridges. Many do not allow riders at all. They are marked on Japanese road maps. This bridge does. It is not a bridge with a lot of traffic and I went at a time that was clear and easy for drivers to see me. That was planned. I do not think anyone should do this unless they have no choice. It's a fun bridge to run! ... but it was a lot of fun coming down by bicycle seeing the sea. Good comment and riders who are thinking to include this on their trip should definitely be more prepared. -John

    It's the focal length of the camera lens. Probably 150mm or higher. The human eye is about 50mm, while phone cameras are more in the range of 20mm (wide angle). Basically focal distance is a trade off between distance (how far you have to be to take the shot) and the compression of depth (how close or far apart objects look - i.e. their perceived flatness).

    Do not use the walkway. If you’re cycling down the bridge, you’d be going a solid 25 mph if you don’t have brakes on properly. Even at slower speeds, if you hit a pedestrian by accident then both they and you will be seriously injured, as they will suffer impact by a 25mph force and you will suffer being catapulted off your bicycle onto the hard ground. On the road, however, the worst you can do is bank into the traffic, and that’s very hard to do. Drivers can easily see you as well and yield accordingly. There’s a reason that in almost every western country on Earth, there’s laws that make sure you cycle on the road. Obey the law.

If you are unsure about your ability to bike a section on the route. Get off the bike and lead it across the that section. The reason why bikes are to be on the road is not because it's forbidden to bike on the side walk; but that it's forbidden to have a vehicle on a side walk. A bike is just as much considered a vehicle as a car. Same rules, same laws if a accident happens.

    今村エリザベス you must not be from Japan to not know the bicycle rule that everyone knows nationwide. Anyhow generally where traffic is heavy or the roadway narrow, you can ride very slowly on the pedestrian walkway if there are not pedestrians and no faster than 7km/hr or at a speed that allows you to stop at a moments notice. But walking the bike is proper. Walking the bike in the pedestrian walkway is allowed- and encouraged on the bridge website. The old man riding the bike in the walkway is breaking etiquette but not the law, under 13 and over 70 can (under 7km/hr) ride their bicycle in the walkway.

The weight difference between a cyclist and a the average car is around 2700 lbs, and that is just a car, not an suv or a truck. The speed difference between a pedestrian walking 3 mph and a cyclist riding at 14 mph is 11 mph. The speed difference between a car and a cyclist can be as much as 50 mph on roads that carry both. In a cyclist-pedestrian collision, neither party is likely to die, and they may not even be hurt. In a cyclist-vehicle collision, the cyclist will probably die.

    JB0Y74 I had been wanting to this this for a long time and it was so exciting to actually be there, in front of the bridge I'd seen in videos before. I was thinking about it on the train ride from Tokyo in the video before -- just was an awesome trip with a silly goal of conquering the bridge, whatever that would require. What I learned was that Yonago, Matsue and Izumo had a lot more than just the bridge and I have to come back for a longer stay in this area. It seems the most natural urban-like area of the country where the hotel signs said "Please drink the tap water!" ... shockingly good! Thank you so much for the comment and for watching the video! Really appreciate it very much! -John
