At the end of the Nara period, when Shodo Shonin opened Mt. Nikko, he was blocked by the rapids of the Otani River and asked for protection from the gods and Buddha, when the King of Shinsha appeared and released two snakes. It is a sacred bridge with a legend that a mountain sedge grew from its back and became a bridge.
It is also called Yamasuge Bridge or Yamasuge's Snake Bridge.
The current vermilion bridge was created in 1636 during the major reconstruction of Toshogu Shrine.
Unfortunately, the bridge at that time was washed away by a flood in 1902 (Meiji 35), but it was rebuilt in 1904 (Meiji 37) and is considered one of Japan's three most unique bridges.
