Wakai Chinka-bashi Bridge, spanning the upstream area of the Shimanto River inside Shimanto Town, is a travel-romance rich hidden spectacular scenic sinking bridge known to those in the know, beautifully harmonizing with untouched, idyllic mountain village landscapes and pure river flows. Constructed without railings (handrails) designed to sink into the river during floods uniquely along the Shimanto River, this bridge completely integrates with surrounding lush green beautiful mountains, and walking across provides a top-tier sense of openness as if strolling atop the water surface. Comparing to famous sinking bridges downstream, it features relatively fewer tourists, standing as a supreme hidden famous spot for international nature travelers and cyclists wishing to deeply immerse themselves in the nostalgia of traditional Japanese river living inside authentic silence.
