Takase Megane Bridge

Meganebashi

In Kyushu there many stone bridges of this form, so-called Meganebashi. This one in Tamana is one of them. As the river is an artificial canal and not much water, you can approach the bridge girders.

The surrounding green parks make the Megami Bridge even more beautiful.
