Arashiyama's Togetsukyo Bridge


Selain Bamboo Grove ada satu lagi tarikan berdekatan iaitu Togetsukyo Bridge yang merentangi Katsura River. Pengunjung yang datang ke Arashiyama akan turut tertarik dengan jambatan Togetsukyo yang unik binaannya. Jambatan ini juga dikenali dengan nama Moon Crossing bridge (link).

Jambatan dibina ketika Zaman Heian Jepun (794-1185). Pada ketika itu Kyoto adalah ibukota Jepun. Jambatan tersebut dibina semula pada 1930.

The name Togetsu, meaning moon crossing, stems from a tale involving the Kamakura period Emperor Kameyama. During a boating party under a full moon, the emperor thought the moon looked like it was crossing the bridge.
