Meghanebashi
Nagasaki's Meganebashi, built in 1634 by the monk Mokushi Nyojo of Kofukuji Temple, is the oldest stone arch bridge in Japan. It got its name because its reflection in the river resembles a pair of glasses. It is one of the three famous bridges in Japan and is designated as an Important Cultural Property. Although part of it collapsed during the Nagasaki flood in 1982, it was restored the following year. Hidden around Meganebashi are heart stones, making it a popular power spot for love fulfillment. During the winter Lantern Festival, the bridge is adorned with beautiful lanterns.
