Onbashi, Taishakukyo, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
広島県帝釈峡雄橋（おんばし）
10km west of Tojo Town, where I am living now, is the northern gateway to the Taishaku Gorge National Park. From the carpark, a refreshing 20 minute walk through the beautiful greenery along the running river takes you to the naturally formed rock formation called 'Onbashi' literally meaning male bridge. The formation is said to have formed from water running from up above gradually weakening the underlaying rock and collapsing to form what now remains a bridge like structure. It is 90 metres long, 40 metres high and 19 metres in breadth.
