Furōbashi, Stone arch bridge in Wakayama, Japan
The granite arch bridge spans across Onarido with cloud pattern reliefs carved into its railings by stonemasons from Yuasa Town.
The bridge, constructed in 1851 under Tokugawa Harutomi's leadership, served as a dedicated path for the Tokugawa clan during their visits to Kishu Toshogu Shrine.
During the Wakamatsuri festival, the bridge functions as an exclusive passage for members of the Kishu Tokugawa family and Toshogu shrine officials.
Located at 3 Wakauranaka, the bridge stands near the Furobashi bus stop, requiring a 30-minute bus journey from JR Wakayama Station.
The bridge represents one of the few stone arch structures built outside the Kyushu region during the Edo period in Japan.
