Shizuoka Prefecture Suruga Area
This bridge was completed on January 13th in 1879. The Shizuoka Prefectural government approved the construction of the bridge after receiving a request from the representatives of a group of people who were cultivating the land in Shimadashuku. Since the bridge was originally made of wood, it was damaged every time water rose in the Oi River. So,the wooden pier was replaced with concrete pier in 1965. The bridge was registered in The Guinness Book of Records as the longest wooden walking bridge (897m) in 1997. Since then, tourists from all over Japan have visited it. It is said that the name of the bridge comes from the following story: When Tokugawa Kamechiyo, the domain lord of Shizuoka in the past visited the site in April 1870; he encouraged the retainers who were cultivating Makinohara saying “this is a treasure mountain.”
