Ippon-bashi in Hayase

A bridge that's the 80th stop among the 88 Shimanto Riverside Sites; it’s located upstream. Considered the prototype of Shimanto River's bridges designed to be underwater during floods, it consists of three wooden boards that are nine meters long, 60 centimeters wide, and 30 centimeters thick. Such bridges are also known as “low water crossings.” They have played an important role from ages past for travelers crossing the region.
