That bridge looks very familiar, like something I've seen in an NHK video. Is there an onsen nearby? I discovered onsen a few years ago.

Yes, there are many nice onsen (natural hot spa) places near to Komikochi Kamikochi area, in Nagano Prefecture and Gifu Prefecture.

This is a hot spring cave in British Columbia, Canada. I went there maybe 6 times. The natural cave goes about I guess 60m into the mountain. In the back of the cave there is no light and it is veryyyy hot there. There is a 500 gallon cold pool outside the cave that has ice on the top in the winter. That takes your breath away when jumping in.

Yes, I am also expecting the colored leaves.
In Japan, it comes earlier in Hokkaido (northan) Island. I photographed these in late September - early October there...

The tallest bridge in the world : "the Millau Viaduct" (Viaduc de Millau) built in the Occitanie Region, in Southern France. The design team was led by French engineer Michel Virlogeux and English architect Norman Foster. The bridge has been built by the Eiffel company among others.
List of the tallest bridges in the world
Having a structural height of 336.4m (1,104 ft) taller than the Eiffel Tower 324m... and a length of 2.4km / 1.49mile.

The world highest bridge...
The Millau Viaduct (French: Viaduc de Millau) is a multi-span cable-stayed bridge completed in 2004 across the gorge valley of the Tarn near Millau in the Aveyron department in the Occitanie Region, in Southern France. The design team was led by engineer Michel Virlogeux and English architect Norman Foster. As of September 2020, it is the tallest bridge in the world, having a structural height of 336.4m (1,104 ft). Same hight as the Eiffel Tower. Wiki

Amazing engineering. That's scary. I hate heights. I imagine daredevils use that bridge for their jumping and bungie stuff.

Some serious runners there. China decimates all other countries in the, "List of Tallest Bridges." Very impressive.

That bridge is one of the things that make me think we are more than monkeys with tools.

The difference between tall and high bridges can be explained in part because some of the highest bridges are built across deep valleys or gorges. For example, (as of 1 July 2020) the Duge Bridge (China) is the highest bridge in the world, but only the eleventh tallest.
The Millau viaduct (France) IS the tallest bridge in the world.

Many of the tall road bridges are toll bridges, right?

In Japan, almost always "toll" if the road is toll highway; automatically charged to our credit card by ETC (electronic toll collection) system...
Oh, I also found this wiki page on countries having ETC system.
No serious reaction needed since this is out of the scope of this thread...
