The tenth bridge along Nakashima River. The oldest stone arch bridge in Japan, it was built in 1634 by Mozi, a Chinese Zen Master from Kokufuji Temple.

Mozi was from Jianchang County, Jianchang Prefecture in the Jiangxi Province of China (present day Nancheng County, Fuzhou City) and came to Japan

in 1632. He was an expert in stone bridge-making techniques. The bridge was damaged in a flood in 1647. It was repaired by Komu Hirato the following

year. For hundreds of years, the locals of Nagasaki have affectionately referred to the bridge as "Meganebashi" (Spectacles Bridge) due to the fact that

the reflection of the bridge on the surface of the river gives it the appearance of a pair of glasses. In 1882, it was officially named Meganebashi.
