Ohashi Roka is a bridge that was constructed in the Edo Period for feudal lords and their servants to move between the outer citadel with its government offices , and the feudal lord’s living area , and the western citadel of the Momijidani Garden. It has a roof so people can be hidden from the outside when crossing it. It is a very rare structure in Japan as slanted bridge. The slop around 11 degree angle, so it has steps to prevent slipping.

He is a travel blogger who is living in Taiwan. The blog mainly shares the travel experience of Asian countries. The "homemade travel map" is the biggest feature of the blog to attract readers. The travel map has been downloaded by more than 300,000 people so far. Walking will leave "footprints", because only with your feet can you experience each story and every journey more deeply.

7.Wakayama Castle bridge
Walking down the mountain to the park, followed by this is this sloping building, the “御橋走廊”, which is very rare in Japan. This hall is connected to the government hall where the lord’s decision was made at the time and the Nishinomaru Garden. This corridor has windows, but it can only be seen from the inside, it cannot be seen from the outside to protect the privacy and security of the lord.
The bridge is tilted 11 degrees and has a high and low design to prevent slipping. It is said that the lords in the past world think about national politics while walking through, and then arrive at the next stop: Nishinomaru Garden.

Ohashi Roka is a very special wooden bridge, with a roof and walls, dating from the Edo Period (1603 – 1868), tilted to 11°. The perfectly polished wooden floor has some small steps inside and the entire idea behind it is that the people who pass it cannot be seen from the outside.
You will have to take your shoes off when you go on the bridge and, even though this is such a simple bridge, it is very charming! After you pass through it coming from the castle, you will enter the beautiful Momijidani Garden (no. 2 on this list).

At the time of my visit, access to the Ohashirouka Bridge was free. It’s quite a delight to pass through this covered bridge with its roofing that shelters you from the sun as well as its polished wooden floors. You will need to remove your shoes when walking through.

One of the most beautiful spots on the castle grounds is Nishinomaru-Teien Gardens, especially when the autumn maple leaves are in bloom, and the most striking feature is the tilted Ohashiroka Bridge, which was built with walls and a roof to protect the privacy of those coming and going from the castle. It makes me wonder what secrets the inhabitants had to hide!
