    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Kenrokumachi
    A bridge spanning Kasumigaike Pond, a pond in the center of the Kenrokuen which is also its largest. Made using 11 red Tomuro stone segments, its appearance was likened to that of geese flying in a line in the evening sky, hence its name, which literally means “geese flying in formation.” Made with the same stone used in the Nijibashi Bridge and for pedestals for statues in the garden, the bridge’s 11 Tomuro stone segments also resemble the pattern on a tortoise’ shell, and thus it is also known as “Tortoiseshell Bridge.” It was said that crossing the bridge would grant one long life, and in the past many visitors walked across its span; today, however, passage over the bridge is prohibited due to the extreme wear this has caused to the stone.

    兼六園のほぼ中央にある霞ヶ池。その東岸に唐崎松があり、さらに東に少しだけ進むと、水路に雁行橋が架かっていました。 この雁行橋は、11枚の六角形の石が続いているもので、雁が夕空に列をなして飛んでいく様をかたどったことから「雁行橋」という名がつきました石の一枚一枚は六角形をしていて、亀の甲の形をしていることから「亀甲橋」とも言われるそうです。現在は、渡ることができませんでした。

    Ishikawa Kahoku-gun Uchinadamachi Daigaku 1- Miyasaka
    This Uchinada Town landmark is also known as the Uchinada Bridge. The design of the 344-meter-long cable-stayed bridge was inspired by yukuzuri, a traditional technique and symbol of winter in the Hokuriku region in which ropes are arranged around trees to protect them from heavy snows. The elegant bridge is a sight to behold even in the daytime, but it is at night when visitors are particularly recommended to check it out. From sunset to 9:00 p. m., the bridge is lit up, wrapping the area in a romantic atmosphere. Because of its beauty, it is a perfect date destination, and the bridge has also been nominated for inclusion in the Lover’s Sanctuary Project as one of the most powerful love spots in the country.

  • Kurotani Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Ishikawa Kaga-shi Yamanaka Onsen Higashimachi
    A stone arch bridge and the bridge furthest downstream in the Kakusen-kei Valley, the most beautiful valley in the Hokuriku region. Built in the early Showa period to replace a previous bridge, the forest-encircled structure mixes the old-fashioned with the modern. A wooden bridge previously spanned the gap here, and it is said in ancient times countless people crossed here and climbed over the pass beyond to reach the Natadera Temple and Komatsu. The surrounding area, filled with stunning rock formations and elegant waterfalls, is known as Kurotani; the late master poet Matsuo Basho also took a liking to the area and is said to have started singing here due to its beauty.

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi
    A wooden pedestrian bridge spanning the river downstream from the Asanogawa Bridge. The foundations are concrete, but the upper part of the bridge is made of wood and engenders an elegant atmosphere. The bridge also famously appears in Kanazawa-born author Kyoka Izumi’s celebrated novels: “Kecho” and “Teriha Kyogen.” At night, the bridge is lit up and many tourists strolling the Higashi Chaya District stop by here. In the past, one had to pay one (ichi) “mon” coin to cross the bridge, and thus it was also known as “Ichi Mon Bridge.”

  • Ayatorihashi Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Ishikawa kaga city Yamanaka Onsen river
    A 94.7 meter long bridge crossing the Daishoji River in the Yamanaka Onsen hot spring resort area in Kaga, Ishikawa. The bridge is characterized by its elegant wine red color and unique, S-curve shape. The bridge was designed to resemble a cat’s cradle (“ayatori” in Japanese) with the banks on either side serving as hands. The bridge was designed with the help of Hiroshi Teshigahara, the third head of the Sogetsu school of flower arranging. The view of the Kakusen-kei Valley from the bridge is the definition of picturesque scenery and the bridge is a popular destination as part of walking courses in the area for tourists. After sunset, the bridge is lit up, creating a fairy tale-like sight.

    Ishikawa Pref. Kagashi Yamanakaonsenkorogimachi
    A bridge made entirely of hinoki cypress crossing the Daishoji River in the Yamanaka Onsen hot spring resort area in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The Kakusen-kei Valley, which extends from the Koorogi Bridge to the Kurotani Bridge downstream, is famous for its picturesque scenery, and visitors can enjoy seasonal beauty here, from fall foliage to fresh spring verdure. The Kakusen-kei Valley is furnished with a walking path and is a popular area for visitors to walk. There are a variety of theories as to the origin of the bridge’s name; one theory says that the area was once called “koro-gi” (dangerous path) due to its perilous nature, while another theory states that the name comes from the crickets (“koorogi” in Japanese) which sing in abundance in autumn.

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Higashiyama near
    The Umenohashi Bridge crosses the Asanogawa River, linking the Namiki Town and Higashiyama districts of Kanazawa City. The area around the Bridge is famous as the setting for the novel “Giketsu Kyoketsu” by Izumi Kyoka, and there are several plaques and statues relating to Izumi’s work. The name “Umenohashi” (“plum bridge”) is said to have been chosen to match the Sakurabashi (“cherry bridge”) Bridge over the Saigawa River. The Bridge is particularly beautiful at night, when it is illuminated.

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
