hellyer 216 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 hello - where is my share of the riches? 2pintsmate's observation and Mr. Wicki's advice and subsequent Google Earth search led to Mt Izuna where the course stands out like dogs kegs Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 muika got the name of the facility and the name of the town correct, I'm afraid. I'm very strict, I know. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Certainly looks like it. I was disappointed with that bridge when I first saw it. Had this idea in my head that it was in a lovely peaceful place, not by a busy main road! Link to post Share on other sites
alexeiw123 2 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Nikko! i reckon you've got it - quick google search for 'nikko japan bridge' - http://www.sacred-destinations.com/japan/nikko-shinkyo-bridge.htm Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 To restore the serene vision on your head Muika Interesting Bridge - it is the Sacred Bridge 'Shinkyo' originally built in the year 808, was detroyed by floodwaters and rebuilt in it's present shape in 1636. It has been featured on many woodblock prints through the ages and in 1999 was included on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Certainly looks like it. I was disappointed with that bridge when I first saw it.

Slippery Jim 65 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Felt the same when I first saw that. It kind of spoils it. There's a lot of that in Japan. The tourist brochure pix carefully cropped to prevent reality from raising its ugly face. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hmmm, I think I know I'm not right but it kind of reminds me of Tenjin. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Does sort of look like Tenjin. Also looks like there is some kind of "crown" logo on the lift tower.... Shirakabako Royal Hill? Link to post Share on other sites
