this time we go straight to the Sea of Japan

spending between SHIMANE and TOTTORI Prefecture is the ESHIMA OHASHI

Japan's most terrifying looking bridge. The closest major access point is YONAGO

the crossroads of the Sannin area it's a short train ride from there to Sakae Minato

The Eshima Ohashi looks innocent, until you get down there

6.1 percent grade slope on the SHIMANE side

5.1 on the Tottori side. 250 meters of concrete in the middle

making it the world's third longest Ramen bridge,  number one in Japan

the angle is deceptive It looks like it's not finished

cars falling off the top, plummeting into the sea below

cars can cross the roller coaster bridge for free. So can bicycles and runners, too.

One of the longest arching bridges in the world now that's a challenge

The Eshima Ohashi is 1.4 kilometers long 8.699 Miles An Hour

the look of the slope has made this bridge world-famous

I rented a bicycle to scope out this civil engineer's dream come true

So here I am right here. We're going to start the climb

looks like a stairway to heaven or something like that.

Now on the left side of there is  walkway but bicycles aren't  allowed to

enter that so we have to stay on this white line

so there is  maybe about 20 centimeters separating me and the car

from the bottom looking up it's like staring at the top of a skyscraper

Well, the only way to summit is to peddle this bicycle

it needed to be high enough to allow large ships to pass under

however the waterway really isn't that wide

I'm sure some civil engineers enjoyed themselves making this one

on the right are little bit too close for comfort

approximately 15,000 vehicles cross this  bridge, every day

there aren't any statistics on bicycles yet

almost there means the real hard part is about to start

there's an observation point normally for walkers

As  soon  as big truck goes by we're gonna go to

I wonder if locals get a thrill at the top as

they drive down towards TOTTORI Prefecture

Me?  it's about to get real again this is the

you get to the very top there's a second where everything slows down

and here's your reward or penalty depends on how good your brakes are

and the condition of your bicycle one mistake

and the rider can go over the handlebars onto the road

let's not think about disasters though. View is just too good to ignore

and if your stuff is on the other side you get to do it again

looks like I'm going straight into the sea

The Posted Speed Limit Is Forty 40 Miles An Hour

back on the ground it felt like I've won the  Tour de  France or something

then I started to wonder what's it like to run this thing

for runners looking to pick a fight ESHIMA OHASHI presents a challenge

for hardcore runners this could even be considered paradise
