[2025 Yamato Attraction] Travel Guide for Tsūjun Bridge (Updated Apr)

Tsujun Bridge, located in Yamato Town, Kamimashiki District, Kumamoto Prefecture, is a stone aqueduct bridge built in the Edo period. It was built to supply water for agricultural use and still functions to this day. On the days when water is released, water gushes out from the bridge, creating a dynamic view like a waterfall. There are also observation decks and museums around the bridge, where you can learn about history and architectural techniques. If you check the water release date before visiting, you can enjoy a spectacular view! Opening hours: 24 hours a day (check the water release date) Access: Approximately 1 hour by car from JR Kumamoto Station Notes: Check the official information for water release times #0 yen trip February 2025 #Tsujun Bridge #Kumamoto sightseeing #spectacular spot #Edo period architecture #bridge tour

#getgoing2025 It is the largest arched aqueduct in Japan, built in 1854 to send water to the white thread platform, which was short of water. The biggest feature of the Tsurun Bridge is that it has the functionality of an agricultural waterway. In addition, it is excellent in earthquake resistance and durability to the extent that it can overcome the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016 and the heavy rain in 2018. The most important highlight is the regular sightseeing water release. The water released from a bridge about 20 metres high with a refreshing sound is powerful! It can also be seen from the top of the bridge, so it is recommended for those who want to see the dynamic appearance. It would be a good idea to check the sightseeing water release schedule in advance.
