The back story behind this bridge of the relation between China and Kofukuji Temple makes an impact on people's impressions. The name Meganebashi, or Glasses Bridge, comes from the image of the reflection of the bridge against the water. The reflections makes two perfect circles, which looks like a pair of glasses. You can view the bridge from up top or from the lakeside. The reflection is best seen on sunny days with no wind.

How nice would it be to enjoy a warm cup of coffee along the bridge.
