30 of the World's Most Spectacular Spirals

"This corkscrew bridge drives locals loopy in the center of Japan’s scenic Izu Peninsula. Completed in 1982 to cover terrain too steep for a conventional road, the bridge is an intriguing landmark on the route from Tokyo to the hot-spring resorts in the nearby city of Shimoda. It rises among the trees like some sort of great coiled snake. The structure is comprised of three supports that look suspiciously like giant painters’ trestles. It rotates traffic through 720 degrees and lifts or drops them 147 feet (45 meters). The speed limit on this serpentine road is only 18 miles per hour (30 kilometers per hour), which helps to prolong the dizzying views of Izu’s volcanic scenery. Travelers with more time on their hands can spin off the highway here (although one hopes not literally) to investigate a handful of waterfalls and the delightful Kawazu Village in the shadow of the bridge. There’s a car park underneath the center of the bridge’s loops for those wishing to take photographs, or play dizzy dinosaurs." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

Pretty cool sight to see while we were riding the bus to the Seven Waterfalls. I didn’t know what it was, so imagine my surprise and interest when we drive right by it. I wanted the bus to take bridge!

Moderately fun monument to bubble period projects. Fun first few times, after that tedious to drive through.

The Kawazu-Nanadaru Loop Bridge is a double spiral bridge with a height of 45 m (148 ft), 80 m (260 ft) in diameter, and a total length of 1,064 m (3,491 ft). From the direction of Shimoda/Kawazu Station, it goes uphill counterclockwise, and from the direction of Izu/Amagi Tunnel, it goes downhill clockwise. It loops 720 degrees (or 360 degrees twice). The carriage is one lane on each side, but the speed limit is limited to 40 km (25 mi) per hour to prevent the danger of vehicles passing through this bridge, and overtaking is prohibited. In addition to cars and motorcycles, bicycles can also pass through. Wiki

I rode on road bicycle down this loop bridge, it was frightening at 70 km/h but great attraction!

We rode the bus to the Kawazu waterfall hike and got to ride the loop bridge on the way there

If I knew in advance I would have made a trip just for this. What a fantastic thing. My highlight of the day, and I saw 9 waterfalls and Mt. Fuji today.
