錦帶橋.

The Kintaikyo bridge (錦帯橋) is one of the top 3 bridges in Japan. It was built in 1673. It was rebuilt once in 1950. It was said that the original bridge was constructed without using any iron nails.

The bridge was commonly featured in Hiroshima tour posters with the great Torii. This could be a day trip from Hiroshima.

The bridge has been under maintenance since the start of the year. But one can still use half of the bridge.
