Crossing the 105-Meter-High Railway Bridge on the Grand Super Cart
About this spot
A sightseeing railway that operates Grand Super Carts on tracks of the former Takachiho Railway, closed due to disaster. Departing from Takachiho Station, the cart passes through tunnels and winds leisurely through rural mountain scenery. The climax is the 105-meter-high Takachiho Railway Bridge, once among Japan's tallest railway bridges. Atop this bridge, the Iwato River gorge spreads out below as you experience the wind full-force on your body—an aerial stroll-like adventure. The bridge features bubble displays that delight both children and adults with their charm. This uniquely Takachiho experience connects the memory of railways to the future.
Tips
Carts are popular and often fill up, so complete your ride reservation at Takachiho Station upon arrival. The bridge can be windy; secure your hat. Rain and strong wind may close operations, so check the day's service status.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. Afternoon rides, when gorge greenery glows in sunlight, are particularly delightful.
