Takase Jinja-bashi is one of the sunken bridges crossing the Shimanto River. At approximately 232 meters long, it's the third longest bridge on the river. The wide river and its slow-flowing, crystal-clear water create a tranquil and restorative atmosphere.
Its distinctive feature is the lack of railings; it's designed to submerge during floods to prevent damage. From the bridge, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the majestic Shimanto River. Firefly viewing in early summer is particularly stunning, offering a magical and enchanting spectacle.
The area is also popular with campers in the summer, providing a relaxing escape in nature. With nearby campgrounds, onsen (hot springs), and restaurants, you can easily spend a full day exploring the area.
Takase Jinja-bashi is the perfect spot to fully immerse yourself in the charm of the Shimanto River. Be sure to visit!
