Momokei Bashi bridge, one of the Nakajima gawa River Ishibashi groups in Nagasaki

Original Text

It is a stone bridge over which a tributary merges with the Nakajima River. A long time ago, in order to solve the inconvenience of transportation for residents on both banks, a monk named Boi collected money and built it in 1679. It is said that it was named Momokei Bridge because there were many peach trees on the riverbank at that time. It was half destroyed during the Nagasaki flood in 1982, but it has been restored and has reached the present day. The peach blossoms planted by the local 々 were in bloom. Vehicles are available.
