Moment of Joy
The charm of Teishakyo is that you can feel the history of the earth over 4.6 billion years. In particular, the bridge named “Onbashi” is a huge natural limestone bridge that was formed over a long period of time by the erosion of limestone caves and mountain streams, and has been called “God’s Bridge” since ancient times. In addition, the Teishaku River has eroded a 300-million-year-old stratum to create the Breakwater River, which is one of the world’s rarest natural wonders.
