About this place
A stone bridge over the Nakashima River in Nagasaki, Nagasaki Prefecture. It is said to have been built in 1634 (Kanei 11) by the Zen master Mokushi Nyojo of Kofukuji, and its name comes from its reflection on the water, which looks like two circles. It is counted among the three famous bridges of Japan, along with Nihonbashi in Tokyo and Kintaikyo in Yamaguchi. Partly collapsed in the 1982 Nagasaki flood, it was restored the following year and is designated a national Important Cultural Property.
