English Version
Yagiyama Bridge in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, is often mentioned in local ghost stories and urban-legend circles as a place with a dark reputation.
According to rumors, witnesses have reported seeing numerous hands clinging to the fence, while others claim that the spirits of people who died by suicide have chased them. The bridge has long been known as a suicide spot.
Below the bridge is a steep cliff, and a suicide-prevention fence was installed to stop further tragedies. Even so, incidents reportedly continued. Today, the barrier is said to be a roughly 2-meter-high structure with barbed wire.
The area has more foot traffic during the day. Some daredevil stories describe visiting at night for a scare, but travelers should not treat this as a challenge. If you visit, stay in public areas, do not climb or touch the fencing, avoid unsafe nighttime exploration, and be respectful of the site’s real history.
Location: around 19-1 Nagamachi-Koeji, Taihaku Ward, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture.

フェンスにいくつもの手がしがみついていたり、自殺した人が追いかけてくるという目撃情報があります。自殺の名所です。橋の下が断崖絶壁になっており、自殺防止のフェンスが取り付けられましたがそれでも後が絶ちませんでした。今では高さ２ｍの鉄条網の造りになっています。昼は人通りが多いので肝試し目的なら夜がいいでしょう。宮城県仙台市太白区長町越路１９?１
