There are two bridges in parallel which cross the Watarase River in the Watarase area. The bridge upstream is the new bridge, and the bridge downstream is the original bridge. In the beginning, the original bridge was made bｙ steel; it was changed to concrete in 1935. This bridge was badly damaged; so, new bridge was built upstream. The structure of the old bridge was so valuable due to its unique construction that it is now being preserved.
Around the bridge, there are many cherry trees which bloom in spring to delight many onlookers.
