Eshima Ohashi Bridge
This bridge was built in 2004 over Nakaumi lake to connect Matsue in Shimane Prefecture and Sakaiminato in Tottori Prefecture. It is famous for its impossibly steep gradient when photographed at a certain angle from Shimane, but in reality is only a shallow 6.1% (or 3.5°) gradient.
