臥龍橋

The Garyu Bridge spans across the Sagae River, featuring traditional wooden architecture with curved beams and extended railings that enhance its structural design.

The bridge, first constructed in 1891, has undergone several restorations while maintaining its original architectural elements and structural characteristics throughout different periods.

The name Garyu, meaning 'sleeping dragon' in Japanese, stems from the bridge's reflection in the water, which resembles a dragon resting on the river surface.

Visitors can access the bridge through designated walking paths and bicycle routes, with informational signs providing guidance in multiple languages.

The bridge serves as a central location for seasonal photography, particularly during spring cherry blossoms and autumn foliage, attracting nature photographers.
