Sasamuta Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Takeda City, Japan.

The dual-arch stone bridge extends 59 meters in length, rises 30 meters high, and maintains a width of 4 meters across the Sasamuta River.

The bridge replaced an iron pipe siphon system that collapsed in 1903, leading to a temporary wooden structure before the final stone construction in 1917.

The Japanese government designated this stone arch bridge as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property in December 1996, marking its engineering excellence.

Visitors can reach the bridge within 5 minutes by car or 10 minutes by bus from JR Takeda Station on the Hohi Line.

The bridge supports an irrigation system that extends over 20 kilometers and supplies water to 134 hectares of agricultural land in the region.
