Uji Walk ④ (Uji Bridge)

It spans the Uji-gawa River in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture.

Uji Bridge is the oldest bridge in Japan, which is said to have been built for the first time in 646. It is counted as one of the three oldest bridges in Japan along with Seta no Kara Bridge and Yamazaki Bridge, and is popular as a symbol of Uji.

History and Characteristics of Uji Bridge

History: It is said that the bridge was built by the monk Doto (or Dosho) in the Nara period. The current bridge was rebuilt in 1996 and combines traditional design with modern technology.

Design: In consideration of the surrounding landscape, it features a balustrade (handrail) using domestic cypress and a bronze giboshi that reproduces the shape of the Kanei period.

San-no-ma: There is a space called "San-no-ma" that overhangs on the upstream side of the third pillar from the west end of the bridge. This is said to be a remnant of the shrine of Hashihime, the guardian god of the bridge, and there is also a legend that Toyotomi Hideyoshi drew water for tea ceremony.

宇治橋は日本の歴史的な橋として有名ですが、実際に歩いてみるとその魅力がより実感できます。私は宇治橋を訪れた際、1996年に架け替えられた現在の橋が伝統美を損なわず、現代技術と巧みに融合している点に感動しました。特に、手すりに使われている国産ヒノキの優しい素材感は周囲の自然環境との調和を感じさせ、歩きながら心が安らぎました。また「三の間」のスペースは、橋の守護神「橋姫」を祀る歴史的な場所であるだけでなく、豊臣秀吉が茶の湯に使う水を汲ませたという伝承があることに驚きました。このような歴史の深みがあるため、宇治橋を渡るだけでなく、ゆっくりと橋の周囲を散策し、その由緒ある雰囲気や景観を堪能することをおすすめします。さらに、最近のテクノロジーを活用した撮影も魅力的です。記事にある「OSMO POCKET 3」のような高性能カメラで撮影すれば、宇治橋の細部や宇治川の美しい流れを簡単に高画質で収めることができ、旅の思い出がより鮮明に残ります。私自身もこのカメラを使って何度か撮影しましたが、手軽にプロ並みの映像が撮れるので、宇治散歩の記録にぴったりだと感じました。宇治橋の歴史的価値と最新技術の撮影ツールを融合させることで、新しい視点から宇治観光を楽しめるでしょう。

The Cortland Street Bridge in Chicago is one of my favorite spots to walk, especially when I just need to clear my head and enjoy the city. It’s got this cool, old-school vibe since it’s one of the oldest drawbridges in Chicago, but it still fits perfectly with the modern skyline in the distance.
