The Kintai Bridge is located in the Japanese city of Iwakuni, which is in turn located in Japan’s Yamaguchi Prefecture. Spanning the Nishiki River, the Kintai Bridge features a series of five wooden bridges. Although the bridge was originally built in 1673, it was rebuilt in 1953 after flooding from a typhoon destroyed it. The original bridge was notable because, despite its size, it used no metal at all. The reconstructed bridge makes use of some metal nails.
