This video is very nice. If you want to watch this bridge then you can watch "What's Hot" channel. 6 years ago a short video about this bridge is posted by this channel.
The whole point of this video is to show what driving across this bridge actually looks like versus the distorted telephoto lens view that's been spread all over the internet for years. And it does exactly that. As someone who's never going to drive over this bridge I appreciate the time and effort that was put into making this video and getting a good idea of what it would look like. Of course nothing can compare to the feel of actually driving over the bridge but a lot of people viewing this video will never get to do this. It's meant to dispel the misinformation about how steep this bridge is. So why not just appreciate it for what it was intended to be?
Yeah some of the photos make it look crazy but it’s not that bad. It’s just because the incline goes on for so long but local people probably don’t think anything of it. Thanks for watching. Stay safe.
I was seeing Photos of this online and finally found a video of this popular bridge. Great job it wasn't as bad as I thought, which is relieving. Thanks for posting!
As someone who is afraid of heights, this bridge actually isn't that scary. It's safe to drive and the view is beautiful! How I love this country! Thanks for the experience!
Oh I only wish that was true, after this 1500km trip, the car spent 7 weeks at the garage and ended up getting engine replaced. Wonderful Japanese service 😀 it is quiet for a V6 with sports exhaust.
Yea, as one said, the photos make it all blown out of proportion! Thanks for driving it and all the angles, that was nice and awesome to "tag" along!!!! Here's hoping there's never an earthquake while driving it!!!
This actually looks really safe and fun to drive. The guard rail between the sideway,plus the outer wall is great. What’s scary is the Bay Bridge in Maryland.
I'm a very anxious person and the descent made me feel a bit uneasy 😆 Certainly it isn't as intimidating as climbing or descending Machu Picchu but...This is indeed is an engineering marvel! Thanks for the video!
Sunshine Skyway Bridge, Tampa Bay. Look it up. It's like triple the size of this, and it's 55 meters from the summit of the bridge to the waters below. Some say it's haunted, too. Given what happened to the original bridge, I don't doubt it.
Wait, so how are people getting those crazy photos of the bridge? I'm glad it has those high rails though, because I'd be freaking out. I still would probably freak out a little LOL.
It’s not scary at all, I would think for someone how didn’t know about the rollercoaster name the tourists have given it, they wouldn’t think anything of it. From a distance it just looks normal while driving.
Your second pass on the bridge made me laugh a bit. It looks like the bridge is going to heaven, and stops halfway up to the clouds. There isn't anything indicating that there's another half to the bridge for some. Although we know that there is a second half to the bridge, a visitor that doesn't know, would freak out a bit. Thank you for the upload, and squashing the rumor of this bridge being dangerous. It's absolutely beautiful!!!
@@bb-od9ku I'm terrified of 2 things in this world. Heights and spiders. Heights is one because I don't have a good sense of balance, and will fall easily if I'm not careful.
Glad i found this video...bcuz the pics that are going around on social media are insane...the bridge looks almost verticle....but im glad to.see that the actual bridge has tall railing where u cant see out the sides
Very interesting. It was made to look like this bridge was at an 80 degree angle or something in photos. This doesn't seem like anything. In my state we have a bridge called the Skyway Bridge and it is extremely steep like this but much longer and larger as it crosses over a bay.
Wow, the reality is nothing like the odd angled photos make it out to be. Nothing scary about it at all, especially if you've driven mountain roads. Thanks for showing the true drive experience.
Thank you so much for the time & effort you took to do this for those of us who probably wont ever get a chance to experience it first hand. This video stands as an example of truth vs the fiction presented on the internet as fact. I now more than ever, will NOT believe everything thats presented to me on the internet/social media. Thanks again!!💟
The bridge itself even have the designated space for people to walk across safely..... Amazing that people would actually walk across this high slope . Good exercise indeed. I wish I can be there.
It looks like a totally different angle of the shot. 😂 Could not see what the freeze frame showed. Like the big gray silos or even the two blue street signs were different🤔🤔 nevertheless. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing👍👍
Can’t speak for every bridge but generally you pay to be on the expressway, if the bridge is part of that road, it’s included in the expressway fee. If it’s on a normal public road, there is no charge.
This is just a telephoto effect that makes it look extreme. The actual bridge is a long distance bridge with a normal driving level slope! Don't be fooled by optical illusions.
It actually looks very nice and pleasant to drive. The photos are, as I figured, doctored to make it look like a 90 degree incline which is impossible.
If this were any other country than Japan, I might have second thoughts about driving on that. But I've not known the Japanese to cut corners in construction.
@@supernova4760 for sure there are bigger, steeper bridges out there. The thing that makes this stand out is the design and how crazy you can make it look in a picture. The hype is all from photos, in reality, it's just a normal bridge.
It looks so scary in the pics (I'm really scared of heights and high, precarious looking structures) but I found your vid actually...relaxing! Great footage, folks 👍.
Great video, you're right, the viral images of this bridge do make it look more extreme, and so I've driven on some extreme bridges without knowing it.
Next time, you should try recording the view from the point of view of the car window so viewers can experience seeing the degree of the slope of the bridge
I know that it's not as steep as photos show, and it's just a short drive over, but there's no breakdown lane if you were to have some sort of problem, like with your brakes, for example.
@@touringjapanukandbeyondi knew it will be like that, i am a photographer ❤️ in the episode I made about the spot, i explained about lenses and perspective 😍😘
that was exciting! i felt like i was getting further off the ground and the back of my knees felt wobbly...even more exciting, though, was seing the absolute lack of litter during the entire drive...almost everywhere in america you can see bottles, cans, cigarette butts, food wrappers, broken glass, or pieces of blown out tires as you drive along...not to mention homeless camps...i never see any trash or homeless people in any video of japan that i have watched
Thanks for watching, good to see the bridge from different directions. You very rarely see trash around but you do see homeless in the city’s and there are videos out there. In some areas it’s a big problem.

Uuu
Photos make it look much insane. Doesn't seem that steep on the drive though. Thanks for posting.
Yeah some of the photos make it look crazy but it’s not that bad. It’s just because the incline goes on for so long but local people probably don’t think anything of it. Thanks for watching. Stay safe.
That's not so bad. If you are used to driving in mountain areas, you are already used to driving steep hills.
In the countryside there is roads that are a lot steeper than this. They just aren’t as long.
Thank you for posting this video,
I enjoyed the ride and I also agree this video needs way more views.
Thank you for watching, already has much more views than I ever expected.

Thanks for watching, glad you liked it
I think it's steeper from the other side, but it's still not at all bad to drive. Done it many times.
This video deserves million views.
Thank you and that would be very nice
Nah it doesn’t
@@lonewolf2086 not for everyone, just showing my view of the much talked about bridge.
@@lonewolf2086 Tee hee hee That’s funny, saying it doesn’t need more views, and yet here you are... viewing it.
@@lonewolf2086 If you don't have nice thing to say , just delete the comment lol.
Ngl, I didn't expect this to be so good, thanks for recording the experience and sharing with us
Thanks for watching.
finally a non clickbait video thank you for answering my questions at 3am.
No problem, thanks for watching.
Thanks for taking me along for the ride over your bridge here from the U.S.A.😎
Thanks for watching, stay safe.
Very clean country. Wish the U.S. was that clean. No trash laying on the streets anywhere.
One of the best thing about Japan is the respect for their country and keeping it clean.
it looks totally oki and drivable
It is, just a fairly normal road.
yeah really exciting nonetheless
As someone who is afraid of heights, this bridge actually isn't that scary. It's safe to drive and the view is beautiful! How I love this country!
Thanks for the experience!
Thanks for watching, take care.
Me, too! Love Japan. So beautiful...
unlesss it snows
Been finding an actual drive experience. Its not bad unlike in photos. It looks insane
If you didn’t know about the photo, then you wouldn’t think anything of it.
Really nice video. Your car is runs so nicely, really quiet engine.
Oh I only wish that was true, after this 1500km trip, the car spent 7 weeks at the garage and ended up getting engine replaced. Wonderful Japanese service 😀 it is quiet for a V6 with sports exhaust.

Thanks for watching, yes also hope there is no earthquake, would not be fun.
You would survive if there was an earthquake as built to withstand them I would think like the buildings
Its feels like that I was Really sitting next of the driver seat ✌️😊 thankyou for the person who uploaded this I just visit Japan 😀
Glad you enjoyed it, take care.
Good
Thanks for watching
Finally found real experience of the famous bridge😊thnks for gives us this helpful video✨I am from india assam❤

Thanks for watching, yeah the decent isn’t too bad, still wouldn’t fancy it on a windy day though.
That doesn’t look that bad or scary as people say it is. It looks very safe. The only ones I trust to build something so big is the Japanese.
I would think they people who say it’s scary would be the people who have never been and only seen the pictures.
Sunshine Skyway Bridge, Tampa Bay. Look it up. It's like triple the size of this, and it's 55 meters from the summit of the bridge to the waters below.

I'm in India, awestruck at the beauty of Japan. Thanks for sharing the experience.
Thanks for watching, hopefully when things become saver across the world, I can get a trip to India. So many amazing places to see there too.
Are you having a laugh? I just saw urban sprawl.
Indian?
The still picture makes it look dreadful and this first hand video makes it look ok. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for watching, take care.
The other photos of this bridge were giving me anxiety just by looking at them. This doesn't seem so bad. Thanks for sharing.
No problem, thanks for watching.
Thank you for posting! It’s not as bad as the photos would have you believe.
Thanks for watching, yeah it's much different to what most people expect.
If this bridge was in USA you'd have to pay a toll to use it. Especially if it was in Massachusetts
To be fair in Japan you have to pay to go over many bridges too, just not this one 😀
I love this video! I love Japan, i hope to visit Japan soon, my dream country ❤
Hope you achieve your dream, thanks for watching.
@@touringjapanukandbeyond thank you! 🥰🥰❤
I love the added touch of giving us the rear view.👍
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it
Thsnks for the ride!
No problem, glad you enjoyed.
Thank you for debunking the lie of that photo. I knew it couldn't be true.
Happy to help, I guess nowadays you can make anything look a little different from reality.
Wait, so how are people getting those crazy photos of the bridge? I'm glad it has those high rails though, because I'd be freaking out. I still would probably freak out a little LOL.
It’s to do with the lens they use I believe.
Nothing scary about this bridge. Good to finally see a proper video of the drive over.
Thanks for watching, seems the video has become very popular due to it being real and not trying to kid anyone
Thank you very much for the various perspectives. I have a question, was it as scary as it appears from a distance? Thanks in advance.🤔
It’s not scary at all, I would think for someone how didn’t know about the rollercoaster name the tourists have given it, they wouldn’t think anything of it. From a distance it just looks normal while driving.

No problem, thank you for watching.
I've has nightmares about this cool to see
@@bb-od9ku I'm terrified of 2 things in this world. Heights and spiders. Heights is one because I don't have a good sense of balance, and will fall easily if I'm not careful.
Hopefully you don’t ever come close to a spider while at heights 🤞🏼
@@touringjapanukandbeyond I can't fly, and the spiders here are starving because there's no flies to feast on.. I'll be okay.. lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really enjoyed the video and also misconception and fear about this bridge is cleared now 😃. Love from india❤
Thanks for watching. Stay safe.
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed being able to see what it is like to travel on that bridge. Very informative.
Thanks for watching, take care.
It's amazing how the way an extreme construction project has to be designed can create an unintended forced perspective.
Very true, thanks for watching
Thank you for clearing things up for our perspective
No problem, thanks for watching
Im impressed how smooth people drive their cars in japan, it feels like riding a bullet train
The driving here is pretty good, you just have to watch when lights change to red, it’s common for someone to continue when light has just changed.
2:19
Thank you!
It’s not that bad and the guard rails help. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Here before 1m views
We can dream 😀
Big thank you for posting. I am scared just seeing everyone driving on the wrong side
Thanks for watching. Big world out there, get out and see it. You’ll see many countries drive on the left side of the road :)
Some roads in San Francisco have scarier inclines/drop offs than this
Yep there sure is, they have many crazy looking roads.
Glad i found this video...bcuz the pics that are going around on social media are insane...the bridge looks almost verticle....but im glad to.see that the actual bridge has tall railing where u cant see out the sides
Glad the video was useful for you, thanks for watching
Imagine having to walk that
It’s not as steep as it looks but is very long.
For how much money
omg
Very interesting. It was made to look like this bridge was at an 80 degree angle or something in photos. This doesn't seem like anything. In my state we have a bridge called the Skyway Bridge and it is extremely steep like this but much longer and larger as it crosses over a bay.
It has a gradient of just over 6%, which would surprise many people I would think. Much steeper bridges out there, thats for sure.
Skyway Bridge in Tampa? I’m in Florida too but haven't been over that
@@Coasterdude02149 yes the Sunshine Skyway. I have driven armored trucks over it. That is quite the rush.
Skyway…. My first thought was Chicago…!
Wow, the reality is nothing like the odd angled photos make it out to be. Nothing scary about it at all, especially if you've driven mountain roads. Thanks for showing the true drive experience.
No problem, thanks for watching
Awesome video! Very nice job! There is no way under the sun I could drive over that!

No problem, it’s so far away from the normal tourist places, most won’t ever visit.
Beautiful! Thank you for posting

@@touringjapanukandbeyond still very Beautiful. It's an amazing bridge. Thanks again for sharing. Would love to jog over it. 🍷👍
Thanks for a great tour video.. In America, we have to pay to go through bridges, do you have to do that in Japan?
Can’t speak for every bridge but generally you pay to be on the expressway, if the bridge is part of that road, it’s included in the expressway fee. If it’s on a normal public road, there is no charge.
That bridge is insane, imagine riding a bicycle up on it
I’m sure your legs would be burning by the time you got to the top 😀
There's a video of a tourist doing just that in both directions.
Yeah, I'm sure people are doing it on a daily basis.
This is just a telephoto effect that makes it look extreme.
The actual bridge is a long distance bridge with a normal driving level slope! Don't be fooled by optical illusions.
Thanks for your heart mark.
No problem, take care.
My tiny 2 liter focus would probably start rolling back down haha. If I even wanna get up on that bridge I’d probably need to have it stuck in first
You’ll be fine, people are going over it in 600cc Kei cars 😀
@@touringjapanukandbeyond that’s a literal quarter of my engine displacement, problem is though how do I ship my left hand car over there 😂
That’s easy, just expensive 😀, starting to see a lot more LHD cars in Japan.
It actually looks very nice and pleasant to drive. The photos are, as I figured, doctored to make it look like a 90 degree incline which is impossible.
Cameras can do wonderful things 😀

It's due to all the misleading perspective shots.
This is what I was looking for! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, take care
I noticed how clean the streets are ..no litter .... . Beautiful...thanks for this true video of the bridge.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
I always complained about the Calcasieu Bridge in Lake Charles, but this bridge takes the cake!
Why?
@@gigifree5783 Okay Gigi, some people get freaked out by steep bridges, some don’t. I am one of the people that do.
A lot of bridges have an incline like that
Wow no tailgating!
Don’t be fooled, Japanese are just as bad as the rest of us. Not so much with tailgating but going through red lights and speeding is very common.
If this were any other country than Japan, I might have second thoughts about driving on that. But I've not known the Japanese to cut corners in construction.
Not much trust in the rest of the world then 😀
There is a bridge in Florida called the sunshine skyway bridge. Much bigger and steeper. Look it up
@@supernova4760 for sure there are bigger, steeper bridges out there. The thing that makes this stand out is the design and how crazy you can make it look in a picture. The hype is all from photos, in reality, it's just a normal bridge.
@@touringjapanukandbeyond Trust me, shonky bridges and construction errors are a lot more common than you think.
TBH its not something I ever think about or I will never go over another bridge.
That was really neat. I even saw a Lawsons convenient store. They used to be very popular here in Ohio.
Yeah a couple of people have mentioned about Lawsons in the comments. Didn’t realise Lawson was even in the U.S. thanks for watching.
It looks so scary in the pics (I'm really scared of heights and high, precarious looking structures) but I found your vid actually...relaxing! Great footage, folks 👍.
Thanks for watching, take care
That bridge looks safer than the ones I been on in the USA
I’m sure the bridges in USA are also safe 😀
Still pretty steep, but not nearly as exaggerated as in some of the photos. Neat!
It’s a very long gradual incline, this is why you can get some crazy photos but in reality, it’s a fairly normal bridge.
Thank you for a real good tour 👍🏻. Not as scary as it looks.
Thanks for watching
Nice job, this is quite a bridge. Darn road does dissappear. Wheee
Thanks for watching 😀
Great video, you're right, the viral images of this bridge do make it look more extreme, and so I've driven on some extreme bridges without knowing it.
I’m sure there are many much more scary bridges than this, would be a little scary on a misty day though.
Awesome, thank you so much for the video!
No problem, thank you for watching
Great video. Looks much worse in the pics. You made the Bridge look easy!!
The 3.5 V6 helps 😀. Thanks for watching.
Seems like a draw bridge would have been easier than one that sends you to the Spirit in the Sky lol
The previous bridge was a draw bridge. They changed it due to the build up of traffic.
Ohhh my goodness, that’s INSANE !! 👍😎
Thanks for watching.
It’s not the 6% grade that scares me. It’s a two way traffic without a divider that seems a little spooky.😮
Great video. Thanks 😊
Thanks for watching, take care
Great video.... but I do hate that that van was right in front of you the whole time blocking the view
It’s all pure luck, I wish he wasn’t there also.
Next time, you should try recording the view from the point of view of the car window so viewers can experience seeing the degree of the slope of the bridge
The camera is on the window, both the front and the rear view. the incline just isn’t as steep as people want you to think.
@@touringjapanukandbeyond I meant the right or the left window... not the front or the back
If I return, it would now be no issue doing that. At the time of this trip, I only had the one camera.
@@touringjapanukandbeyond coool 👍 can't wait to see the new video then

It does remind me of the roller coasters at Cedar Point!
😀
I can see why this bridge can give some people anxieties it looks like your driving down a steep.
The incline isn’t really that bad. It’s just very long and that’s why it gives the impression it’s steeper than it actually is.
Fabulous video from the land of hard working people.
Thanks for watching. Stay safe
I know that it's not as steep as photos show, and it's just a short drive over, but there's no breakdown lane if you were to have some sort of problem, like with your brakes, for example.
Very true, that would be a little scary. Also when the snow comes, I think I’d avoid the bridge when not treated.

@@touringjapanukandbeyondi knew it will be like that, i am a photographer ❤️ in the episode I made about the spot, i explained about lenses and perspective 😍😘
