Spanning the absolute downstream area of the Shimanto River, "Imanari Bridge" (commonly famous as Sada Chinka-bashi) boasts a total length of 291.6 meters, standing as the "longest and most grand scale" sinking bridge among all those across the Shimanto River, symbolizing Kochi sightseeing with immense popularity. Extending low and long along the wide, grand flow of the Shimanto River without any railings, its bridge silhouette is full of pure impact; walking or cycling across provides a top-tier feeling of openness as if flying straight atop the water surface. Canoeing, SUP, and traditional yakatabune houseboat operations are highly active around the area, allowing you to look up at the bridge from right below. It is a place to experience hand-constructed Japanese natural wisdom and rich great nature where green mountains and endless transparent pure streams beautifully merge.
