寺迫ちょうちょ大橋

The Terasako Butterfly Bridge extends 1.7 kilometers across Lake Nakaumi, featuring a central span that rises 44 meters above the water.

The bridge was constructed in 2004 to replace an older drawbridge that caused frequent traffic delays when ships passed underneath.

Local photographers gather at specific spots near the convenience store intersection to capture the bridge's apparent steep angle.

The bridge's gradient measures 6.1 percent on the north side and 5.1 percent on the south side, allowing vehicles to cross safely.

Telephoto lenses create an optical effect that makes the bridge appear like a near-vertical wall rising from the water surface.
