Overview
Japan's 'Little Venice' with twelve unique bridges spanning a working fishing canal in Imizu.
Dubbed Japan's 'Little Venice,' this 3.4-kilometer canal in the old Shinminato fishing port is crossed by twelve bridges, each with a distinct design. The Azumabashi covered bridge was designed by a Spanish architect and has no parallel in Japan. Fishing boats moor alongside the walkway, and local women still hang laundry over the canal in scenes unchanged for decades.
