If you took one look at this photo and immediately realized that you were looking at a beekeeper and his keep-boxes, score yourself five bonus points. Usually you see the beekeeper in protective gear of some sort, but maybe he wasn't opening up the hives today...

Although very few tourist attractions lie directly on this route, this is supposedly the longest wooden bridge in Japan. You're allowed to cross it, but they ask you to WALK and not ride your bike across. It's a valid request - there are no guardrails, and people are trying to pass in both directions, often with small children. You don't need to cross anyway; the bikeroute continues along on along the same side of the river. But it's worth a stop to walk to the center of the bridge and enjoy the view.
