Kasaiwa Bridge (笠岩橋)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a vermilion bridge spanning the Toyokawa River (豊川), which flows through Sakurabuchi Park (桜淵公園). Amid scenery of deep greenery, rocks and clear river currents, the red railings stand out beautifully. Peering down from the bridge, you can see the flow of the river clearly, and children watch the water surface without getting bored. Sakurabuchi Park is a scenic spot also called Sakura-ga-Fuchi of Mikawa, and beyond the cherry blossoms of spring, its deep summer greenery is well worth seeing. Walking along the riverside before playing in the fountain lets you feel that this park is a place blessed with water.

Tips

There are spots where you can approach the river, but the current becomes fast when the water rises or after rain, so it is safer to look from the bridge rather than going down to the water's edge. The park paths have ups and downs, so easy-to-walk shoes are suitable. There is plenty of shade, but do not forget to bring drinks.

Best time to visit

About 40 minutes. With plenty of tree shade, it is easy to walk even on a sunny afternoon
