FLOOD PROOF BRIDGES IN KOCHI.　沈下橋。

Shimanto river is one of the most beautiful river in our country.

There are many flood proof bridges in this river.


Sada bridge.

A flood proof bridge means a bridge designed to be under-water during a flood.


The scenery near the bridge.



Sanri bridge.



I crossed this bridge by car with my wife.



Iwama bridge.



I crossed this bridge too.



The upper stream of the river.





Leaving from the river,we went to Muroto misaki cape.


A suite room where we stayed.



A living room.



Next morning we waked up with the sun rise.


We strolled along the sea side.



There were many rocks.







There was a hawk on a rock. 


Leaving the hotel,we went to Muroto misaki cape light house.


This light house is located on a hill top.


We could see the nice scenery.



This bay is facing the Pacific Ocean.

    Minoru, you and your wife take the best trips. I'm glad to accompany you through your photos. Those narrow bridges look a little scary! Love the sunrise shot.

    美しい四万十川は一度行ってみたいと思っています。水の流れも緩やかそうで雄大な感じがしますね。車で渡られた橋、随分長そうですが、奥様怖がられませんでしたか？ハンドル握る手が震えそうです。

    いい旅でしたね。いつも素敵なホテルのお部屋に泊まられてますね。朝日の眺めも素晴らしい。浜辺のお散歩はロマンチックな気分になりましたか？みのるさんが撮影中は奥様どうしておられます？私はいつも忍耐強い夫に感謝していますが、場所によっては別行動しています。災害対策で柵のない橋は怖い気がしますが、開発されていない四万十川の清流に似合ってる気がします。

    Amazing and unusual flood proof bridges... A very good idea for areas with such problems, as example with inundations or river waters with big volume!(this is something i've never seen before). And so stunning sceneries, sights seen at the shore of the Pacific Ocean; all of them are spectacular, but no. 17 is my fave. That room with the view was for sure outstanding to have a good look at sunrise...
    Many thanks for sharing these with us! best regards to both of you in the new week of March!

    You both must have enjoyed a marvelous time at the country side that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. I can sit there for hours and read a book in that peaceful environment.

    The room you slept was huge, warm and cozy with 2 comfortable big beds!
