Take commemorative photos at the beautiful eight-arch stone bridge

About this spot

A stone bridge spanning the Yamakuni River with eight connected arches, known as Japan's longest stone arch bridge. Locally also called the "Holland Bridge" (Olanda Bashi), the beautiful stonework from the Meiji era remains unfaded to this day. From the bridge approaches, you can view the landscape in harmony with the gorge, making it a perfect spot for photography. After visiting Rakan Temple, take a moment to rest and enjoy the distinctive Yabakei scenery.

荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日は中津市の公式発表を確認しましょう。終了後は道路が混み合うため、少し時間を置いてから帰路につくのがおすすめです。河川敷は足元が暗いので懐中電灯やスマホのライトを準備しておくと安心です。
