Immerse yourself in the vibrant red hues of autumn while gazing at the stunning Hoshi no Buranko Suspension Bridge in Japan.
The Hoshi no Buranko Suspension Bridge, situated in Hoshida Park, Osaka, Japan, stands as the second longest pedestrian bridge in the country.
Legend has it that the Hoshi no Buranko Suspension Bridge (also known as the Star Bridge) was created by the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi, founder of the Shingon sect, who wished for a rain of a thousand stars. Hence, the name 'Star Bridge' originated from this legend.
The Hoshi no Buranko Suspension Bridge, with a height of 180m above sea level and a length of 280m, may be named a suspension bridge, but it is securely fixed. From here, gaze upon the natural beauty and romantic mountains. Don't forget to check-in and capture the dazzling scenes.
The best time to witness the red leaves here is from late November to December. In autumn, looking out from the bridge into the surrounding valley, you'll feel immersed in the stunning beauty of vibrant red. Alternatively, in summer, the natural greenery provides a romantic and picturesque scene.
