Momijidani Suspension Bridge (森林の駅/もみじ谷大吊橋)

Tourist Area Type: Tourist attraction

Forest Station is located in the eastern part of Shiobara Onsenkyo and is a tourist attraction famous for one of the longest suspension bridges in Japan.

The Momijidani Suspension Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in Honshu, spanning the Shiobara Dam Lake in the lower reaches of the Broom River, and is 320 meters long. There are various types of suspension bridges, but ordinary bridges are equipped with rigid girders to support the load on the suspension bridge. This suspension bridge is not a rigid girder, but a pedestrian suspension bridge with a structure in which wire ropes are stretched horizontally to increase the strength of the suspension bridge.

The magnificent scenery surrounding the suspension bridge is a new attraction of Shiobara Onsen, different from the valley beauty of the Broom River flowing through the mountains. Visitors are welcomed by beautiful scenery in every season, spring, summer, fall, and winter.
