It's the season for Carp streamers on Iwamoto Bridge to swim again this year!

The Iwamoto Bridge, which is also an important cultural property of Kumamoto Prefecture, is 32 meters long and 4 meters wide.

It is a precious stone spectacle bridge built in the Edo period by double construction of Aso condensed coal rock.

It spans the Sekigawa River, which streams along the border between Arao City and Omuta City, and is also known as the Megane Bridge in the area.
Famous for the inscription of the chrysanthemum crest on the western exterior. In the early Meiji era, it is said to be the work of Kangoro Hashimoto, a master craftsman of the eighth generation, who built many famous bridges, including the double bridge of the Imperial Palace.
It is well preserved and you can walk on the bridge!
