Kintaikyo Bridge(registered as one of Japan’s greatest bridges)
The Kintaikyo Bridge is a five-arched bridge over the Nishiki River in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Counted as one of Japan’s three most famous bridges, with abundant nature in its background, it has been designated as a national Place of Scenic Beauty (the area including upstream and downstream).
It was constructed in 1673 through a manifestation of wisdom and skill, in the desire for a flood-proof bridge. That structure, crossing the river’s width of around 200m, is exquisite and original. Furthermore, it boasts a beautiful shape.
In approximately 350 years since its construction, the technology and beauty of the Kintaikyo Bridge continue to be protected even today.
