Tsujun Bridge
通潤橋
A stone arched aqueduct completed in 1854, designated a National Treasure in 2023; when water is released, it gushes from the sides of the bridge
Tsujun Bridge in Yamato Town is a stone arched aqueduct built in the late Edo period to carry water to the Shiraito tableland. It is about 75.6 m long and 20 m high, using the principle of the inverted siphon to carry water across the valley, and it became a National Treasure in 2023. The outlets in the middle of the bridge release water at set times, and it pours out from both sides in a curtain of water, making it a popular photo spot. Check the release schedule and any fees on the official website in advance. The roadside rest area next to the bridge has exhibits and local products. The bridge is about 30 km from Takachiho, roughly 40 minutes by car.
