Katsura Ōhashi, Road bridge in Arashiyama district, Kyoto, Japan
The Katsura Ōhashi bridge extends across the Katsura River, connecting the eastern and western parts of the Arashiyama district in Kyoto.
The current structure of Katsura Ōhashi was completed in June 1934, replacing previous versions that served as essential transportation routes in the region.
The bridge holds traditional ceremonies where local children receive blessings and cross without looking back, following ancient customs of the area.
The bridge connects to multiple transportation options, including the Keifuku Railway stations, and functions as a main access point to temples and gardens.
During spring, the bridge provides viewing points of cherry blossoms along the Katsura River, while autumn brings red maple leaves to the surrounding slopes.
