大河原橋, Submersible bridge in Minami Yamashiro, Japan

The Okawara Bridge spans 95.3 meters across the Kizu River with a width of 3.6 meters, designed to submerge during high water periods.

Construction of the bridge began in January 1944 and finished in 1945, replacing a ferry service that previously connected the north and south banks.

The bridge earned the name 'Koiji Bridge' and stands near the Koishidani Shrine, connecting the communities of North and South Okawara.

The structure consists of 120 granite stones from local quarries, each measuring 4.4 meters in length and 0.5 meters in both width and thickness.

Despite the construction of the larger Okawara Great Bridge upstream in 1966, this original bridge continues to serve local residents without charge.
