The Sixteen Bridge (Jurokkyo) in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture, marks a significant historical site where the New Government Army advanced towards Aizuwakamatsu Castle in 1868. The Aizu army attempted to destroy the bridge to prevent their advance, but were unsuccessful. Today, it functions as a water gate. The bridge offers a glimpse into the past and a quiet, less-visited spot. The current structure features a combination of stone and steel, with a retro-style bridge offering scenic views of the river flowing from Lake Inawashiro. It's a quick stop, ideal for history enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful moment.
