Kintai Bridge

Rate this destination:

The durable, long-standing five-arched bridge was built way back 1673.

Bridging the ends of Nishiki River, the bridge is the most iconic landmark in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Every hanami (cherry blossom viewing) season, the locales of Yamaguchi and foreigners visit the bridge as it continues to give good photographs perfect for postcards. Today, the bridge is designated as a national cultural property of Japan.
