Sometimes driving or just sitting in the car gets pretty boring right? But worry no more. The Japanese have invented the best way to make your boring driving experience fantastic! The Eshima Ohashi Bridge in Japan gives you the opportunity to experience a roller-coaster ride while you are seated in your car. Even though the bridge has no spins or loops, even the most experienced and the most daring drivers are scared to go for a ride on this bridge!
We have gathered some awesome pics of this ‘only for the bravest’ bridge. So buckle up to go for a roller-coaster ride!
The Eshima Ohashi bridge connects the two cities of the cities of Matsue and Sakaiminato. This quite scary bridge is about 1.7km long and 11.3m wide.

It sits among the top ranks of the world’s largest rigid frame bridges. In fact, it is the third largest in the entire world.

From afar, it seems like it would be impossible to climb up this bridge. However, once you get near, you will realize that it is not impossible. But mind you, it might make you dizzy!

The climbing is so narrow that it seems like cars would just slip down the bridge while the passengers slip down the car! So if you ever decide to go to Japan and drive through this bridge, please do not forget to wear your seatbelts! The height of the bridge lets large ships pass under the bridge, while cars run over it.

Even though it might give you terrified just looking at it, the Eshima Ohashi Bridge is quite safe. In fact, it is all about perspective. The pictures may look like it is a bridge that connects you to the Other Side, but actually, if you look at it from a different angle, it is just another bridge that has a relatively steep incline.
But still, would you drive through this bridge? If you were given a choice between the Eshima Ohashi Bridge and a regular bridge for a fun ride, which one would you choose? Let us know in the comments below!
