The Sayabashi Bridge is a bridge over the Kanakura River in Kotohira, Kagawa Prefecture. This arched wooden bridge with copper roof in Kara-hafu style is said to have been constructed during the Genroku period(1688-1703). It was named Sayabashi because its curved shape is similar to the scabbard of a sword. It is also known as the "Uki Bashi or "Floating Bridge" because it no legs. It was registered as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 1998.
