Nakashima-gawa Bridges

Parallel to Teramachi, the Nakashima-gawa is crossed by a picturesque collection of 17th-century stone bridges. At one time each bridge was the distinct entrance to a separate temple. Best known is the double-arched Megane-bashi. Six of the 10 bridges, including Megane-bashi, were washed away by flooding in 1982 but later restored using the recovered stones.
