Seiun Bridge
青雲橋
Hinokage, Miyazaki, Japan
450 feet high / 137 meters high
722 foot span / 220 meter span
1984
Seiun bridge opened in 1984, the same year as the nearby Aya Teruha footbridge. At the time they were Japan’s two highest bridges. Seiun is now one of 8 bridges in the Takachiho gorge region that exceed 328 feet (100 mtrs) in height. The bridge was a favorite of at least one of Japan’s earliest BASE jumpers.
綾照葉大吊橋と同じ年の1984年に青雲橋はオープンしました。この時、二つの橋は、日本で一番高い橋でした。青雲橋は今、高千穂峡谷地域で高さ100mを越す八つの橋の一つとなっています。この橋は初期のベースジャンパー達にとっての格好の場所の一つでした。
