6. Ponte Iya Kazurabashi, Japan

Deep in the remote Iya Valley, the Kazurabashi Bridge is woven from wild vines, preserving centuries of Japanese tradition. Crossing it is like stepping back in timeāthe groaning vines and shaky planks remind you how fragile this passage is. Steel cables are woven through the vines every three years for safety, but the journey remains thrilling and unnerving, especially when you glimpse the river rushing through the gaps below.
