A bridge of wisdom that coexists with nature! A relaxing journey on the Shimanto River's submerged bridge

#AbsolutelyFreeTravel Over 47 "sinking bridges" span the Shimanto River, which flows through Kochi Prefecture. 🌊 These bridges, without railings, submerge underwater during floods, avoiding collisions with driftwood and sediment, making them highly durable. These bridges are packed with the "wisdom of everyday life" of fending off nature, rather than resisting it. Particularly famous are the Sada Sinking Bridge and the Iwama Sinking Bridge. The scenery, with the sky and mountains reflected in the mirror-like surface of the river, is as beautiful as a painting. 📸 Walking on the bridges makes you feel one with the water, almost like you're floating above the river. The day I visited was sunny, and the view of the expansive Shimanto River from the bridges was deeply soothing. Perfect for crossing hand in hand with your partner, or strolling alone, taking photos as you go. 💑👤 The sight of local people and nature in harmony truly brought home the true meaning of travel. Access each of the submerged bridges by rental car or bus from JR Nakamura Station. 🚗🚌 The "Sada Submerged Bridge" and "Iwama Submerged Bridge" are popular spots that often appear on tourist posters. Experience the wisdom and beauty of living in harmony with nature on this journey. Be sure to add a submerged bridge to your next travel destination!
