雄亀滝橋, Stone bridge in Misato, Japan

The Ogametaki Bridge spans across a deep valley with cliffs on both sides, carrying water through its aqueduct system to irrigate agricultural lands.

Built in 1817 during the Edo period, the Ogametaki Bridge served as a model for the National Treasure Tsujun Bridge in Yamato town.

The bridge stands as a Prefectural Important Cultural Property of Kumamoto, representing the engineering capabilities of early 19th-century Japanese builders.

The bridge continues to supply water to 70 hectares of rice fields and farmland, maintaining its original function after more than 200 years.

The structure represents Japan's second oldest aqueduct bridge, combining water transportation with architectural excellence in stone construction.
