Togetsu-kyô – Japanese Bridge | Hartmut Pohling
The bridge over the Katsura river in Arashiyama is one of Kyôto’s most popular landmarks. As far back as a thousand years ago, this spot attracted aristocrats from the capital who came here in search of relaxation – see Mifune festival. Measuring 155 metres in length, this wooden architectural bridge offers stunning views of the Katsura River and the surrounding countryside of Saga Arashiyama.
