Cross the historic movable bridge and feel the breeze of the Chikugo River
About this spot
A historic site of an unusual railroad bridge that once lifted and lowered its span to allow ships to pass through the Chikugo River. Now maintained as a pedestrian walking path, offering panoramic views of the majestic flow of the Chikugo River and surrounding cityscape from the bridge. Highly valued as an industrial heritage site, strolling on the bridge while feeling the river breeze is perfect for family walks.
