The Eshima Ohashi Bridge, connecting the cities of Matsue and Sakaiminato in Japan, is an optical illusion come to life. When viewed from certain angles, the bridge appears to rise at an impossibly steep incline, resembling a roller coaster. While the actual gradient is only 6.1 percent, the dramatic perspective captured in photographs has made it a viral sensation. Driving across this unique bridge is an experience that combines visual excitement with engineering brilliance.
