Area Map
Kintaikyo bridge, one of the three best bridges in Japan, is a wooden bridge built on a stone foundation. The most prominent feature is its unique structure of the five consecutive arches. It was built by applying robust building technics and structures, which are perfect from the present mechanical technology’s point of view. It is amazing that such a perfect construction was achieved 300 hundred years ago, without any computers. The technological strength is not the only attractive point the bridge offers. The beautiful appearance that is perfectly keeping harmony with the surrounding nature is another great attractive point. The best season is in spring when the bridge is surrounded by cherry blossoms in full bloom.
