Nagasaki's famous tourist spot, Meganebashi Bridge, will be transformed into the "Golden Bridge over the River"! A special way to enjoy the Nagasaki Lantern Festival!

Hello, this is Noguchi Tsuyoshi from Noguchubu (X account @ta0416 )!

This time, we will show you how to truly enjoy Nagasaki's famous tourist spot, Meganebashi Bridge, by visiting it during the Nagasaki Lantern Festival!

Conclusion: "The Meganebashi Bridge over the Golden River can only be photographed during the Nagasaki Lantern Festival! The bridge is the perfect place to take amazing photos of the yellow lanterns reflecting off the Nakajima River, creating a golden river!"

This is what it looks like during the day!

Here are some photos I took while preparing for the Lantern Festival!

However, at night, this becomes a wonderful, fantastical space, so we would like to show you around!!

Before that, I checked with my usual AI about the Nagasaki Lantern Festival and Meganebashi Bridge!

1. Meganebashi Bridge, Japan's oldest stone arch bridge

Spectacles Bridge, built in 1634 by Mokusunyojo of Kofuku-ji Temple, is the oldest stone double-arch bridge in Japan and is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.

The weight of history:

The powerful stonework has survived repeated floods for nearly 400 years and is a symbol of Nagasaki's indomitable spirit.

Aesthetic Form:

The way the arches are reflected on the river surface, creating a perfect "glasses" shape, is a culmination of meticulous Edo period civil engineering technology.

2. The Nagasaki Lantern Festival illuminates the winter nights

It originally began as a "Spring Festival" for the people of Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown to celebrate the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival).

規模感:

It has now grown into one of Japan's largest winter events, with approximately 15,000 lanterns (Chinese lanterns) and large objects filling the city, attracting photographers and tourists alike!

Cultural Mixture:

This is a festival that is unique to Nagasaki, where Chinese and Japanese cultures are fused in a unique way, full of exotic atmosphere.

3. The two overlap at "Meganebashi Bridge over the Golden River"

The Nakajima River area, where Meganebashi Bridge and the Lantern Festival come together, creates a "beauty of stillness and movement" that cannot be found at other venues. There are two main reasons why this place is so amazing.

The special feeling of "yellow":

In contrast to the red of the main venue, the area around Meganebashi Bridge will be unified with yellow lanterns. The color of the imposing stone bridge and the golden light floating in the darkness of the night create an exquisite harmony, creating a dignified landscape that is like a scene from a movie.

A mirror called the water surface:

The light from the lanterns reflects off the surface of the river, and the particles of light pass through the arches of Meganebashi Bridge. The static presence of the historic stone bridge is combined with the dynamic element of the flickering golden light of the lanterns to create a fantastical space: Meganebashi Bridge spanning a golden river !
