    Nigata Pref. Uonumashi Kamioritate
    Located between Tochiomata Onsen and Oyu Onsen in the Yunotani Onsen Village, Mikairibashi spans the Sanashigawa River. It has been the subject of local songs, and it is believed to fulfill wishes to meet a longed-for person again. It is said that there was once a huge willow tree, called Mikaeri Yanagi, near the bridge. According to local traditions, people returning from the therapeutic baths would think back to their encounters and memories under the tree. It was believed that looking back under the tree several times would bring about a second encounter with the person one was thinking about. However, that willow tree is no longer there.
