Eshima Ohashi Bridge
In Japanese: 江島大橋（ベタ踏み坂）
A bridge over Lake Nakaumi linking Shimane and Tottori, nicknamed "Betafumi-zaka" (floor-the-pedal slope) after a car commercial made it look impossibly steep. About 45 m high at the top, it is Japan's largest PC rigid-frame bridge, with views of Mt. Daisen.
