Takaibashi (タカイバシ takaibashi) Entrance to Yamada Hot Spring in Takayama Village Takai Bridge is located at the gateway to the Matsukawa Valleys. In the colors of the Valleys that change in the four seasons, it is always dignified with its unchanging appearance. Nagano Prefecture is said to have a clear color of the four seasons. Takaibashi is a place where you can feel the four seasons at a fixed point. Valleys, budding in Spring, deep green in summer, Autumn leaves in autumn, and snowy scenery in winter. A red bridge that snuggles up to the four seasons of the Valleys. The scenery of Takai Bridge in winter is just cool!　It is the world view of ink painting. Powder snow in the middle of winter does not stick to the branches, and it is a view that can be seen during this Period when there is a lot of wet snow, such as snow from rain. Also, the day when the sun shines on the pure white Valleys, the snow sparkles, and the sky turns bright blue is also "beautiful". This is also one of the scenes of Takaibashi that I want to show. The scenery that can be seen when the conditions are right is also the charm of Nature. Cool scenery in a cool season I would love to see it.
