This large suspension bridge crosses the Ayagawa Gorge in the Kyushu Chuo Sanchi Quasi-National Park. It is one of the largest pedestrian bridges in Japan at a height of 142 meters and a length of 250 meters. Crossing the bridge offers a thrill as though you are walking on air, and a massive panoramic view of the spacious sky along with one of Japan’s largest laurel forests (a type of subtropical forest) right before your eyes.
Aya Town, where the Teruha Suspension Bridge is located, is registered as a Biosphere Reserve under UNESCO's "Man and Biosphere Program," and approximately two kilometers of nature paths offer visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the forest beyond the bridge. There is also a roughly three hour course where you can observe the valuable flora of the laurel forest on foot, accompanied by a guide (advance reservation required, guidance in Japanese only).  Visitors can also learn about the laurel forest and the creatures living there at the Lucidophyllous Forest Museum, located close to the bridge.
