Kokan Bridge (Kōkankyō) – Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property
Kokan Bridge stands between Mie-machi in Bungoono City and Usuki in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu.
The name Kokan means "a rainbow crossing a ravine," and true to its name it is a large, beautiful arched stone bridge spanning a mountain stream.
Built in the late Edo period, it was erected on the road connecting Mie town and the castle town of Usuki.
Because the river runs through a gorge, people of the time had to descend steep slopes, cross the river, and climb steep slopes again, enduring great hardship. To overcome this difficulty, wealthy merchants from Usuki and Mie pooled funds to build the bridge.
This sturdy and elegant stone bridge is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
As an arched stone bridge from the Edo period, it is the largest in Oita Prefecture, with a span of 25.4 meters.
Kokan Bridge was built where welded tuff from Aso pyroclastic flows had been deeply eroded by the river.
Location: between Sugo, Mie-machi, Bungoono City and Nishihata, Notsu-machi, Usuki City, Oita Prefecture

■■■ About the Mount Ontake-style Kagura Tournament
The Ontake kagura passed down in Kiyokawa is said to have begun in 1449, at the same time as the founding of Ontake Shrine.
This tradition has been handed down for centuries, and kagura in this lineage spread through Ono, Naoiri, the southern part of the prefecture, and as far as the Aso region. In 2007 it was designated an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property by the national government.
We launched the Mount Ontake-style Kagura Tournament in 1988 to reexamine this local culture of kagura born from Kiyokawa’s landscape and to promote regional revitalization through kagura.
The tournament gathers traditional cultures from many areas into one event. Centered on Ontake kagura, the bold and brilliant dances, along with the splendid performances by the Kiyokawa Children’s Kagura Preservation Society that carry the Ontake tradition into the future, captivate many kagura fans.
