A BASE to Warm up Your Body and Soul with Hot Springs and Mongolian Mutton Barbecue

Koiji Bridge
Kyoto Minamiyamashiro
A BASE Where You Can Relax as You Gaze at the Flowing River
Koiji Bridge is a submerged bridge that sinks into the river when the Kizu River rises. It's a bit startling at first since you don't usually see bridges like this, but that initial shock changes to a great refreshing feeling as soon as you get close to the river. On the other side is Koishidani Shrine, which is known for its matchmaking powers, so it might be a good idea to cross the bridge while thinking of your loved one.
