Tsujunkyo Bridge is a single-arch stone aqueduct bridge built in 1854 during the Edo period. It is one of the largest stone arch aqueduct bridges in Japan.
Tsujun Bridge is 75.6 meters long, 6.3 meters wide, 20.2 meters high, and has an arch radius of 27.6 meters. Water is drawn from the upper reaches of the Sasahara River, approximately 6 kilometers away, with a total length of approximately 30 kilometers and an irrigated area of approximately 100 ha. It has the power to send water to 15,000 square meters of water in one day and night, replenishing rice fields.
Tsujunkyo Bridge has been designated as a national important cultural property due to its majestic appearance and advanced water use technology.
You can view the bridge (for a fee) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the day the water is released.
