Asagiri Bridge, Wooden footbridge in Uji, Japan.
The Asagiri Bridge stretches 101.8 meters across the Uji River with a width of 8.4 meters, featuring cypress wood floorboards and zelkova wood piers.
First built in 1972, the bridge includes construction materials from previous shrine halls, maintaining connections to local religious structures.
The bridge combines 16 decorative giboshi ornaments along its parapet with traditional Japanese architectural elements, representing regional craftsmanship.
Visitors can access the bridge through Kintetsu Ujiyamada Station or JR Ise City Station, followed by a 20-minute bus ride to Naiku Mae stop.
During winter solstice, the sunrise aligns perfectly between the bridge's torii gates, creating a natural light display for two months.
