Western-style Mie-bashi, a masonry method, on the lower Nagao River at Takiguchi, Shirahama. Because there are three arches, it is not really glasses, but it has come to be called a glasses bridge from the appearance of moving to the river. The bridge was built in Meiji 21 (1888) with a donation of 399 yen and 40 yen from the villagers. He said he had walked across the river before the construction.
