Megane Bridge

This stone bridge has a history spanning over 400 years. Although it was repaired in 1983 due to flood damage, it was reconstructed to keep its original arch shape. About 80% of the damaged stones were recovered and reused, showing the effort to preserve its original appearance as much as possible. It’s said there may even be a “heart stone” hidden in the embankment. The cloudy, hot, and humid weather actually made our stroll near the bridge feel pleasant. You can walk down the path along the river to enjoy the bridge from a different angle. It must be especially beautiful to visit during the bloom of shidarezakura, as the pathway is lined with these graceful cherry trees.

Great bridge for viewing but does not look like what its name suggests. Called Megane-Bridge which is supposed to look like spectacles, but I don't see it. It is just a regular bridge. The waterway is nice though, and there are plenty of koi. Be sure to look for the heart shaped rock.

A nice little scenic side quest when visiting Nagasaki. The bridge does look a bit like a pair of spectacles when you see the reflection. For the brave there are stone steps leading across the water so you can take a picture from the water level. When down at this spot you may notice one of the Heart Stones in the canal wall. All is all a decent photo stop

I found the heart stone. That is mean I will find the true love. Is very nice place to visit. You must go. The canal so clean. You will see koi swimming around there.

Beautiful area and bridge with plenty of seating to sit and relax. Reflection off the water gives a mirroring effect and makes the bridge even more stunning. Water so clear with beautiful fish floating around making it even more tranquil.

I were there I. The morning. It’s a nice and quiet place to walk and experience some native Japanese culture. It’s famous for the shadow of the bridge, looks like a pair is spectacles. Not far away from the busy shopping area.

I randomly saw this on Google maps while in Nagasaki. It's a beautiful little area and I found the heart rock. Good luck searching!

It was cute. Since there was alot of movement in the water below the bridge .. I could not get the "spectacles shot" .. but i tried. I guess there is a season for it or better weather conditions. I don't think it is a thing / bridge to go out of your way to visit. I lived in a Hostel near by so I went for it. Otherwise ... there are better things to do.
