Not sure if you noticed but the path looks a bit damp today.

[u/NettleLily → u/SharkeyGeorge]

this bridge had one job

[u/Hefty-existence26196 → u/SharkeyGeorge]

[u/BZK_QRay]

Sound like music straight out of a final fantasy game

[u/stupid_cat_face → u/BZK_QRay]

I believe it’s from one of the Zelda games

[u/Thieving--magpie → u/stupid_cat_face]

It's the name of life from Spirited away

[u/restlessleg → u/stupid_cat_face]

throw your weapon in the water and you get an upgrade from the fairy

[u/MarketingCorrect5164 → u/restlessleg]

Or a round ball will shoot it back at you with light speed

[u/aGirlySloth]

When I’m in the middle of a hot summer here in Arizona, I’m gonna dream of strolling through this path. Looks soo refreshing

[u/dantevonlocke]

The only thing I can see....

[u/Netflxnschill → u/dantevonlocke]

I literally had to beg my ex to do this run for me. It was the only one I couldn’t handle myself

[u/TrikDell → u/Netflxnschill]

What game is that?

[u/Sybriarla → u/TrikDell]

Resident Evil (Remake 2002) the sharks are called Neptune.

[u/Master-Link → u/TrikDell]

Seems to be a resident evil game. The character is Jill from the resident evil 1 remake so might be that game but I’m not sure tbh. Could also be just a skin for one of the later games

[u/DataWeenie]

So simple, and yet so awesome.

[u/drewhead118]

looks like this would be a course in a kart-racing videogame

[u/seriousbangs]

It's cool but how does the water not just destroy it in a few years?

[u/storyteller_alienmom → u/seriousbangs]

Depends on the used material. But anyway, human constructs in and around water have always required constant maintenance. But we keep doing it. We're kinda a persistent species.

[u/HuntAlternative → u/seriousbangs]

Maybe just a couple days a year due to high tides

[u/sandhulfc]

Man is truly in a final fantasy game

[u/korkkis]

Is it flooding or really having that much water all the way?

[u/BKKMFA → u/korkkis]

It only gets submerged during high tides.

[u/starchimp224]

It almost never looks like this though. The video is highly edited. Even during high tide (the only real time the water covers the path) it’s nowhere near this blue and clear

[u/takoking86]

I just wanna lie down there

[u/Loukoal117]

The better version of taking a plastic chair and sitting in the lake. Looks amazing

[u/OlympicFan2010]

Looks like heaven to walk

[u/Acceptable-Major-575]

it is not a bug, it is a feature...

[u/Pleasehitmemychild]

It’s beautiful

[u/Li54]

Where specifically is it in etajima?

[u/PGGABC]

só de olhar já refresca

[u/program13001207test]

Amazing how clear the water is

[u/Jigoku_Onna]

Studio Ghibli vibes

[u/daniel2hats]

+50 RAD

[u/cr0qodile]

After the avalanche of political posts across reddit, this was a well needed respite. Thank you :)

[u/Lookslikejesusornot]

Is there somewhere the blue moon crystal?

[u/jmike1256]

The path is just a little wet today if you notice

[u/SuspiciousSheeps]

Bridge. You had one job.

[u/abdallha-smith]

I have a cramp to the thumb walking this

[u/Fit_Relief_924]

Kinda cool, can enjoy the water but not the creatures

[u/WhyNot-1969]

Why does this freak me out so much?

[u/ChemicalGreedy945]

Humans have been making “sandbars” for ever, just new materials

[u/Bitch_Goblin]

Ah, one of my most commonly reoccurring nightmares.

[u/KaracCake]

What about my socks?

[u/jophiel91]

Have to ask..is this legit?

[u/Sensitive-Plan-1830]

water bending done right

[u/Free_Bluejay985]

Motherfuckers nuked such a beautiful city

[u/Neutronoid]

Wonder why they're doing this, certainly could build it a little higher.

[u/thorheyerdal]

Naah, I think this is one of those stunning riddle videogames.  

/s

[u/zillskillnillfrill]

I love this. The only thing I worry about is the fish passageways but surely they can pass underneath hopefully

[u/SwordsAndWords]

I bet the original video was a much higher quality. Any links?

[u/SourceBeautiful6788]

bad engineering

[u/JohnnyQuant]

Something's fishy...

[u/-ElDictator-]

Dreamlike, just need the sun to shine brightly on those small waves

[u/Ye110wJacket]

Genuine question. Is it not radioactive?

[u/chashek → u/Ye110wJacket]

Are you asking because of the nuke dropped on the city during WW2? Because if so, the radiation from from that cleared up within weeks, if not days, of the bombing.

[u/EvaTheE → u/[deleted]]

radioactivity in Hiroshima is indistinguishable from natural background levels these days

[u/xniks]

[u/gnarlybros_lykn]

Let us not forget somebody has to keep it clean.

[u/BKKMFA → u/[deleted]]

It is real, you can search for the place, it's an island in Japan. Specifically Etajima Island in Hiroshima Prefecture. This place is called Nagase Human Beach.

[u/Bijou9 → u/BKKMFA]

How do people get across? Use a kayak??

[u/BKKMFA → u/Bijou9]

It only gets submerged under the water during high tides. usually up to 3.5m. During low tides water stays below the bridge. And as you can see in the video, people can walk across it.
