Kyoto has a lot of bridges. Some of them are very old and famous, like Togetsukyo over the Hozu River in Arashiyama. But my favouite bridge is small and off the beaten track. It's on a small road in Yamashina that ends with Honkokuji Temple. . In spring the bridge is surrounded with cherry blossom. In summer the startling vermilion paint and gold detail create wonderful contrast with the green leaves. In Autumn the colors of cherry and maple echo the colors of the bridge, and in the winter snow it was dazzling!
