Sightseeing

Central area

Futamata Bridge

Stone bridges over the confluence of Shakain and Tsuru Rivers. Two bridges intersect at a right angle and are also called “twin bridges”. There is a large ginkgo tree by the bridges and the view in foliage season is beautiful, so this place is popular among tourists who like to take photographs.
It becomes a hot topic that the sunlight creates heart shapes under the bridges around from 11am to noon between November and March. Recently, this site was registered as a sacred place for couples under the name of “the stone bridges where heart shapes are created”.
