We think we are briefly introducing Kourogi bridge.
【A historical bridge in Yamanaka hot spring】
It is a bridge sustained on Dai-seiji river in Yamanaka hot spring, which was built in Edo period. After that, it was re-built a few times. Then, the 4th generation bridge was born in 2019.
This bridge is a symbol of Yamanaka hot spring. In 1978, Higuch Kanako who mainly played as an actress in the same named TV dramas was broadcasted.
【Harmony with nature】

From the bridge, Kakusen-kei beautiful valley is expanded where continues about 1km.
We can be fully satisfied with the natural beauty in each season.
【The name origin】
There are a few possible name origin stories of Kourogi bridge. We are not certain which is correct.
However, while feeling the harmony with bridge history and nature, it is making a special place for its visitors.
