【Kyoto】Reenact a scene from a movie!? Gyojabashi on the Shirakawa Canal
The Shirakawa Canal area in Kyoto is known for its traditional Japanese-style houses and stone streets. When you follow the stream upwards, you’ll see Gyojabashi Bridge going into Chioin-In Temple.
Furukawamachi-bashi Bridge is a simply crafted bridge that is lovingly called Gyojabashi Bridge. The bridge is 12 meters long and 60 cm wide with no side rails. Along with the willow trees surrounding it, it creates a lovely photo spot. It has appeared in several Japanese movies and dramas.
Anyone can walk this bridge that attracts visitors from all over the world. They come to take pictures ans videos of the bridge that is beautiful and feels a little dangerous. Right nearby, there is a terrace where you can sit back and feel the cool water. In summer, many people relax here with their shoes off. Come and feel like you’re the main character in a movie.
