Rakanji Bridge, Stone arch road bridge in Nakatsu, Japan.

The Rakanji Bridge spans across the Yamakuni River with a traditional stone arch design that reflects Japanese engineering techniques of the early 20th century.

Built in 1920, the Rakanji Bridge stands as a testament to the infrastructure development period in Japan when communities worked together on transportation projects.

The bridge connects neighborhoods containing temples and shrines, making it an integral part of local religious and community life in Nakatsu.

The structure serves both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, providing a direct route across the Yamakuni River with access points from the Nakatsu city center.

The bridge combines practical transportation needs with architectural elements that make it a notable example of stone arch construction in Oita Prefecture.
