The Todoro Bridge consists of two stone arches spanning the Okutake River, with a total length of 68.5 meters and a width of 2.5 meters.

Built in 1934, the bridge served as a railway track for transporting timber from national forests at the foot of Mount Kei using trolley cars.

The stone masonry techniques used in the bridge construction represent traditional Japanese engineering methods, with master craftsmen Yamashita Kahei and Kai Toshimitsu.

Visitors can reach the bridge by car from the Kiyokawa Road Station, following Route 502 and local prefectural roads toward the Takachiho direction.

The bridge stands 27 meters above the water, making it the highest stone bridge in Japan, with its main span of 32.1 meters being the longest among Japanese stone bridges.
