More information:

This bridge crosses the Narai River, which runs parallel to the main street. Extending 30 meters, it is one of the longest arched wooden bridges in Japan. It is one of the icons of Narai Juku one of the pot towns along the Nakasendo Road. During the Edo Period, Narai marked the halfway point between Kyoto and Edo/Tokyo for travelers along the Nakasendo Route. It was one of the most prosperous post towns along the Naka Sendo, now mostly just a tourist town but not without interest.
