It is made of the hardy kiwi wood (weighing approximately 6 tons) and is 45 meters long, 2 meters wide, and is set 14 meters above the river. In the olden days, the bridge was the only traffic facility in the region with deep mountains and valleys. It is replaced every three years. (Japan’s designated Important Folk-Cultural Property.)
