  • Ondo Ohashi Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Hiroshima Pref. Kureshi Ondochouiwashihama
    "This highway bridge connects Kurahashi Island to Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture on the mainland. Its red arches recall the large vermilion torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine. The roads that lead to the bridge spiral up to it, leaving room for large boats to pass beneath. In order to cope with an increase in traffic, they made the ""Second Ondo Ohashi Bridge"" about 350 meters away in 2013. This is also a red Nielsen Lohse arch bridge, but it lacks the spiraling roads. "

When the bridge is rebuilt every twenty years as a part of Shikinen Sengu (a periodic transfer of the divine symbol to a divine palace which is newly constructed every twenty years), these are dismantled and reconstructed, and the outer torii becomes the torii of the Shichiri-no-Watashi in Kuwana City and the outer torii becomes the torii of the Seki-no-higashi Oiwake in Kameyama City.
