The Sakura Bridge spans across the Shimanto River, constructed without handrails to allow water to flow over during flooding periods.

The bridge represents one of 47 submersible bridges built along the Shimanto River system to withstand seasonal floods and serve local communities.

Local fishermen regularly use the bridge as a base for catching river shrimp and eels, maintaining traditional fishing practices in the Shimanto River.

Visitors can access the bridge through nearby parking facilities, with the structure located closest to downtown Nakamura City among all submersible bridges.

During high water periods, the bridge becomes partially submerged while remaining structurally sound, demonstrating Japanese engineering adaptation to natural conditions.
