The whole bridge is made with Japanese cypress and was named after Korogi, Japanese name for crickets, since it can be heard in fall. You can feel the elegance of Japan from the different tastes of the four seasons. The view of Kakusen-kei, representative scenic beauty of this area & Yamanasa Onsen, from the bridge is amazing.
