Megane Bridge, meaning 'Spectacles Bridge,' is Japan's oldest stone arch bridge, built in 1634 in Nagasaki. When the twin arches reflect perfectly in the calm waters of the Nakashima River below, they create the appearance of a pair of eyeglasses, giving the bridge its charming name. This picturesque landmark is especially beautiful during cherry blossom season and is illuminated at night, making it a romantic spot for photographers and history enthusiasts alike.

💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit during early morning or late afternoon for the best reflections and fewer crowds. The bridge is located in a pleasant riverside walking area with cafes and shops nearby; wear comfortable shoes for exploring. Look for the heart-shaped stone embedded in the riverbank wall near the bridge—it's considered a lucky photo spot and popular with couples.
