大正12 年3 月に竣工した日本で唯一の8連石造アーチ橋で、日本最長の石造アーチ橋でもあります。大分県の有形文化財に指定されており、日本百名橋の一つにも数えられています。建設目的は観光用でしたが、近隣の日出生台への要路確保の意味合いもあったといわれています。

This bridge was completed in March, Taisho 12, and is the only eight-arch bridge in Japan, as well as the country’s longest stone bridge. It is a registered cultural property of Oita Prefecture, and is listed in the One Hundred Famous Bridges of Japan.
Yabakei Bridge was originally built for tourism purposes, but it is said that it was also meant to ensure a route to Hijudai nearby.
