Ume-no Hashi Bridge
An atmospheric wooden-style bridge nestled in the Geisha district
The wooden-style Ume-no Hashi Bridge spans the upstream side of the Asanogawa Ohashi Bridge. This bridge is for pedestrians only and is convenient when walking from the city center where Kenrokuen Garden and other places are located to Higashi Chaya District. The area around the bridge was the setting for "Giketsu-kyoketsu", a novel by local writer Kyoka Izumi, and a statue of the heroine, Taki no Shiraito, and a monument have been erected there. It is illuminated at night, so it is recommended to stop by after enjoying dinner at Higashi Chaya District.
