"10 minute walk from ito station, the bridge held a fun river race. Family oriented activity with refreshing water dips once the boat flipped over. Ito is calm and clean. The orange beach was refreshing too."

"Very pretty, encourage you to walk the rest of the trail too. Overall 5 star but the bridge alone is maybe a little overrated. Hold your hat it can be windy 😂"
