Bridge that was the Setting for a Novel
The area around Ume-no-hashi is the setting for Izumi Kyoka’s novel “Giketsu Kyoketsu.” The story is about a pure and sad love between a young man and a beautiful traveling actress. The stone monument and a bronze statue of the heroin can be seen near the bridge. When you press the button in the white box situated next to the statue, some water spouts out from the Japanese fan.

Bridge Beautifully lit up at Night
The bridge is lit up after sunset and adds an even more tasteful atmosphere to the view of the bridge. The old fashioned wooden bridge, which can be rarely seen these days, lit up in orange light fits perfectly in the townscape of Kanazawa.
