Moegi Bridge: A Scenic Crossing to Autumn Splendor
紅葉風景へのもえぎ橋
Located within a short 8-minute walk from Oku-Tama Station, Moegi Bridge, a pedestrian suspension bridge, offers stunning views of Hikawa Gorge, especially during autumn. Although a little late in the autumn season, the landscape of colors along the steep shores of the Tama River headwaters in the rural town of Okutama, Tokyo Prefecture, created a photogenic scene that immediately caught my eye.
Next year, I hope to visit a few weeks earlier in the season to catch the vidid reds and oranges that have mostly faded from this scene.
Moegi Bridge (もえぎ橋・Moegi-bashi), which opened in July 1998, made it easier for local hikers and campers to cross the Tama River and access the popular hot spring resort, Moegi-no-Yu.
This pedestrian bridge is similar to the other suspension bridges I traversed on this photowalk, all lightweight structures with no truss or girders, making them susceptible to strong winds. To counteract strong winds, many of the pedestrian bridges in Hikawa Gorge incorporate stretched cables attached to the deck to help control torsional vibrations.
When bridges sway too much, my border collie gets scared and refuses to cross with me. On this day, she confidently crossed all three suspension bridges without fear!
