Akua Bridge is like the local urban legend within Yoshizawa Town. If you have growing up and lived in Yoshizawa or visit town for a while. you will probably heard about the story. Two teenage couple commit a suicide by jumping from bridge and there will always be a couple in town doing the same suicide ever since the death of two teenage couple. I don't know if there is something unnatural about Akua Bridge, But I can indeed confirmed that all those suicides did happened.
