Stroll the stone arch bridge from the Edo period

About this spot

A stone arch bridge from the Edo period spanning the Machiyamaguchi River flowing through central Hondo. Characterized by a series of stone arches spanning about 28 meters, it's also known as a place related to the Shimabara Rebellion of Amakusa. The foot of the bridge is a grassy plaza where you can stroll leisurely along the river. Visiting in the cool morning hours lets you quietly experience the atmosphere of the historic townscape. Begin your day with a leisurely historical walk of Amakusa before swimming.
