Tsujunkyo Bridge (通潤橋)

2014-08-30 08.52.56On the outskirts of Yamato town in Kumamoto prefecture, is a very old, very functional aqueduct bridge known as Tsujunkyo. Built in 1854, it is the largest aqueduct bridge made of stone in Japan! Most weekends the bridge demonstrates its irrigating success by spurting out massive amounts of water around 1 PM. I went in the morning on the way to Miyazaki last time, so I was unable to see the latter, but it was still an interesting experience I wanted to share. The area is full of natural scenery intertwined with agricultural lands, which provides visitors with yet another idyllic vision of Japan.
