【Kyoto】A Photogenic Spot! Kyoto's Yamato Bridge

Yamato Bridge is a small yet historically significant bridge in Kyoto. Located south of Shijo Street along Nawate Street (Yamato-Oji), Yamato Bridge spans the Shirakawa River. Originally constructed as a wooden bridge during the Jokyo era in the 1680s, it was later rebuilt as a stone bridge in 1732, showcasing its rich history. The elegant design of the bridge reflects the charm of Kyoto from that era. This spot is highly recommended for taking photos, especially while wearing a kimono. If you rent a kimono, be sure to visit Yamato Bridge as a photogenic location. 📍: Tokiwacho, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City / Near the intersection of Gion Shirakawa South Street and Yamato-Oji Street
