I frequently flew down to Iwakuni from Atsugi and relaxed for a few days. The area was even more reasonably priced than Yokohama and it was a joy to see the older areas of a Japan unaffected by the war. Took photos of this most famous bridge.

This picture is from a book titled "Japan, Its History, Arts and Literature" published in 1902. I earlier posted a photograph of this bridge. This illustration from the book is actually a better picture.
