Made it to Kintai-kyo Bridge in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan. It was built by Lord Kikkawa Hiroyoshi in 1672 & is a national treasure. (The history of this bridge is too detailed to cover. Just know it's rly important to the Japanese)
It's mostly made of 6 types of wood - each with a different purpose. It's construction is an engineering marvel, having improved each time it's been destroyed by floods.
It's overseen by Iwakuni Castle on the hills.
