Harimayabashi Bridge, Stone bridge in downtown Kochi, Japan

The Harimayabashi Bridge spans 20 meters across the central district of Kochi City, featuring stone railings and multiple architectural implementations.

The bridge originated in the Edo period when two merchant families, Harimaya and Hitsuya, constructed a private crossing to connect their businesses.

The bridge gained recognition through its inclusion in the lyrics of Yosakoi folk songs and connection to a Buddhist priest's love story.

The bridge area includes an underground passage with tourist information displays and serves as a central transportation hub with train and bus stops.

Four different versions of Harimayabashi Bridge exist in the same location, each representing distinct periods of construction and architectural styles.
