Gion Bridge

The Gion Bridge extends across the water for 28.6 meters in length and measures 3.3 meters in width, featuring stone columns with triangular piers.

Constructed in 1832, the Gion Bridge became a central location during the events of the Amakusa Shimabara Rebellion, marking its place in regional history.

The bridge received designation as an Important Cultural Property of Japan due to its representation of traditional engineering and architectural methods.

The structure currently remains impassable due to fallen stonework, and visitors should contact the Cultural Affairs Department at 0969326784 for access information.

Named after its position in front of Gion-jinja Shrine, this bridge employs a multi-pier design that distinguishes it among Japanese stone structures.
