Hoshi no Buranko is one of the most popular spots among travellers to Katano. It is said that Hoshi no Buranko is the biggest suspension bridge that uses wooden panels as floor board in Japan.
The great suspension bridge welcomes not only Japanese but also foreign travellers. The place is also well-known as the best trekking spot in Osaka. Furthermore, there is a climing wall for rock climing near the entrance of the bridge. In weekends, a lot of visitors are enjoying the nature-based attractive spot.
In autumn, you can see a brilliant scenery from the bridge. The trees under the bridge turns red like red-coloured sea. Standing in the middle of the bridge, the great panorama embraces you.
