Nikko - Shinkyo Sacred Bridge




Apparently, this is part of the Futarasan-Jinja, but it is located in a different place about a kilometer from the rest of the jinja grounds. There is a fee to cross the bridge, but I decided to just take photos and not walk across it. 




The water under the bridge is crystal clear.




The current bridge was rebuilt in 1904, after the typhoon and flooding took away the previous bridge in 1902.






After visiting the bridge, I had an early dinner of cold soba and tempura at a local shop.

It's a pretty bridge, hard to believe it's already over a hundred years out (and still considered the 'new' bridge). Your dinner looks delicious as usual!
