The Arakawa Gorge Maple Line, a 20-km-long scenic spot for autumn foliage, stretches from Sekikawa Village in the northern part of Niigata Prefecture to Oguni Town in Yamagata Prefecture.

Among them, the Takanosu Suspension Bridge is a must-see spot during a drive. Standing on the suspension bridge, the clear waters of the Arakawa River and the relaxing view of the mountains will wash your mind with their beauty.

Small hot spring bathhouses dot the bridge, creating a picturesque view. The bridge is recommended not only during the season of autumn foliage, but also in spring when the fresh green leaves are dazzling.
