  • Ujibashi Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Mie Pref. Iseshi Ujitachichou
    This bridge near the entrance of Ise Jingu’s Naiku (Kotaijingu) in Ise City spans across the Isuzugawa River. It has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 most famous bridges, and is a popular place to take commemorative photos as it is a symbol of the Naiku. There are torii gates on both sides of the bridge, and the outer torii is made from the old pillars of the Geku-seiden (outer shrine main hall) and the inner torii is made from the old pillars of the Naiku-seiden (inner shrine main hall). When the bridge is rebuilt every twenty years as a part of Shikinen Sengu (a periodic transfer of the divine symbol to a divine palace which is newly constructed every twenty years), these are dismantled and reconstructed, and the outer torii becomes the torii of the Shichiri-no-Watashi in Kuwana City and the outer torii becomes the torii of the Seki-no-higashi Oiwake in Kameyama City. For several days before and after the winter solstice the morning sun rises directly above the torii, and this area is bustling with many visitors during that time.

The red framework of the bridge looks beautiful against the mountain greenery and the deep blue water. Cultured pearls are grown in the area, and from the top of the bridge, drivers can see the lovely wakes of fishing boats in Nie bay. The Kinki Nature Road is a famous sightseeing route in the Ise area, and visitors can walk around the island that lies between the two bridges and stop off at the Naka-no-Iso Observation Point for an overview of the impressive ria (submerged river valley) coastline of the Ise area."
