OHJIRIGAWA RIVER

The flow of Ojiri River into Lake Chuzenji and the Ojiri bridge built at the mouth of the river. Ojiri bridge is a plank-floored bridge without handrails,and so it is a remnant early days. This bridge was not lost in the flood in 1902. This bridge stretches from the south bank of Lake Chuzenji to Chuzenji. Ojiri River flows into Kegon Falls. This photo was probably taken at the same time as no. 9-20, but is not identical.==Date:unknown, Place:Nikko, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number10‐5‐0]
