The picturesque Saruhashi bridge in Yamanashi prefecture has long been known as a place of scenic beauty and is featured on many old Japanese prints. I came here on the last day of my Japan 2017 trip because I was collecting the “the three unusual bridges of Japan” – it made for a quick but pleasant stop.
