Chukei Bridge, named in honor of Ino Tadataka, the renowned surveyor, is centrally located in the historic district of Katori City, Sawara. While the current concrete bridge was built in the 1960s, it stands as a key landmark for exploring the area. The bridge offers scenic views of the Ono River and the surrounding traditional townscape. It's a bustling spot where Katori Street intersects with the riverside path, often with a security guard present to manage traffic. Be sure to admire the surveying instrument motifs on the bridge's posts, a tribute to Ino Tadataka's legacy. The bridge is a short 10-minute walk from Sawara Station and provides access to Ino Tadataka's former residence and other attractions.
