    Kouchi Pref. Shimantoshi Sada
    The Sadachinka Bridge, a typical “chinka”, or sinking bridge, able to sustain flooding on the lower parts of the Shimanto River, is the longest of the more than 40 so called sinking bridges on the Shimanto River boasting a length of 291.6 meters and a width of 4.2 meters. In order to prevent being washed away during high floods, these submersible bridges were built without railings. Visitors can enjoy the pleasant feeling of the cool breeze as they cross the bridge on foot with many tourists coming to visit throughout the year.

    西土佐道の駅から少し四万十川上流にあります。車で５分かからないと思います。橋には駐車スペースがありませんので注意が必要です。短めの沈下橋なので河原に下りたり渡り切ったり楽しむことが出来ます。

    Kouchi Pref. Shimantoshi Nishitosaiwama
    This bridge is in Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture. Designed to submerge when the river rises and to have as little impact on water flow as possible, it stands out for its lack of guard rails. It was built in 1966 and is 120 meters long. The surrounding scenery is particularly lovely, making it the most popular of the 47 “sinking bridges” along the Shimanto River.

    Kouchi Pref. Shimantoshi Katsuma
    This bridge is located in Katsuma, Shimanto City is one of a number of ''sinking bridges'' designed to sink during high water built along the Shimanto River. The scenery created by the river, its sinking bridges, and the nearby mountains is symbolic of the Shimanto River. This particular 171.4-meter-long, 4.4-meter-wide sinking bridge is notable for its three-legged piers.

    Kouchi Pref. Shimantoshi Nishitosaiwama
    This bridge is located in Nishitosaiwama, Shimanto City. The 120-meter-long bridge is one of several sinking bridges along the Shimanto River designed to be submerged when the water rises. It is an especially popular place to take photographs even among the sinking bridges, which have come to become symbolic of the Shimanto River's scenery. The bridge is frequently featured in posters, videos, and other media.

    Kochi Konan-shi Yasucho Tei Tei Minato Iriguchi
    The Teiko Movable Bridge (officially, the Kochiken Teiko Rinkodoro Kado Bridge) at the entrance of Teiko Port was opened in 2002. It's about 32 meters long and takes about six minutes to open and close. You can only travel over it for about seven hours a day at fixed times, and the schedule is subject to change without notice, so be sure to confirm if it's operating before you go.

  • Shimotsui Meganebashi Bridge

    Kochi Takaoka-gun Shimantocho Shimotsui
    Another name for Sagawa Bridge, which spans the Harai River (a small tributary of the Yusuhara River). The reflection of Tsuga Dam on the lake resembles glasses (megane), giving it the name. It was originally a bridge for forestry trains that ran during the period when the industry thrived. It still looks today like it did back then and is one of the prefecture's Modernization Heritages.

    Kochi Takaoka-gun Tsunocho Yoshiunoko
    A bridge that's the 80th stop among the 88 Shimanto Riverside Sites; it’s located upstream. Considered the prototype of Shimanto River's bridges designed to be underwater during floods, it consists of three wooden boards that are nine meters long, 60 centimeters wide, and 30 centimeters thick. Such bridges are also known as “low water crossings.” They have played an important role from ages past for travelers crossing the region.

around-area-map

The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
