A stone-arched waterway bridge, one of the largest in Japan, formed in Kaei 7 (1854). It is a part of the water for tsumune water on the southern hills of Mount Aso-minami, and has been designated as a national treasure, with a bridge length of about 78m and a bridge height of about 21m. It is well known that water spews out of the water outlet in the center of the stone bridge in an arched shape.

There is also the "Tongjun Bridge Miel Terrace", which has a goods building that accepts bridging viewing, and the "Tongjun Bridge Historical Museum", which introduces the structure of the bridge in three-dimensional models and footage.
