眼鏡橋

Meganebashi Bridge, commonly known as Spectacles Bridge, is a charming and unique landmark in Nagasaki. Built in 1634, it is the oldest stone arch bridge in Japan and gets its name from the way its two arches reflect in the water, resembling a pair of spectacles. This picturesque view has made it one of Nagasaki's most photographed spots.

The bridge was originally constructed by a Chinese monk to help locals cross the Nakashima River. Its design is not only beautiful but also an engineering marvel of its time, demonstrating advanced techniques in stonework and construction. The double-arch design was innovative for Japan and has stood the test of time, surviving many floods and natural disasters.

Today, Meganebashi Bridge is a popular destination for both tourists and locals. It's a peaceful place to stroll, enjoy the scenery, and reflect on the blend of cultural influences that shape Nagasaki. The area around the bridge is especially beautiful during cherry blossom season when the surrounding trees are in full bloom.
