大正9 年完成の長さ日本3 位の3連橋で、特徴は脚経間と高さの割合が5.0という非常に扁平なこと。それだけに応力が難しく、架設も困難をきわめたようです。耶馬渓鉄道が健在だった頃、同線羅漢寺駅から羅漢寺への参道に位置していました。

Rakanji Bridge is Japan’s third longest three-arched bridge, and was completed in Taisho 9. It’s most identifying characteristic is its extraordinary flatness, with the ratio of the distance between each leg to height being 5.0. This undoubtedly meant dealing with bridge stress, and construction proved to be a difficult ordeal.

Back when the Yabakei Railway was still operational, it was located on the path between Rakanji Station and Rakanji Temple.
