走在沉下橋,因為像是單行道,還好有設計凸出地方可以躲車,但因為沒有護欄,其實走起來還怕怕的!

Sada Chinkabashi
The longest Chinkabashi bridge over Shikoku’s longest river, Shimantogawa.
The bridge is over the Shimanto River, which is called “Japan’s last clean stream” with ample clear water.
Chinkabashi is without the rails to avoid being washed away. It is designed to go underwater in times of flood. The idea is not to rule over nature, but to live with it. The bridge over the grand Shimanto River is the symbol of the meek lifestyle of the residents.
Shimanto River has many Chinkabashi. The most famous is Sada Chinkabashi, which is 291.6m long with blue legs. Vehicles cannot pass each other there and drivers need to watch the traffic.
Canoeing, stand-up paddle and rafting. Shimanto River is the mecca of water activities. There are quite a few activities that beginners can participate safely with the help of instructors. Try some of them and be up close to the Shimanto River’s rich nature.

為了怕洪水對橋造成損害,建造了這一座沒有欄杆的橋樑,當大水一來橋也自然沉沒在水底,這樣的設計規劃實在也很特別。
