はりまや橋
A bridge made famous by a story that took place here; a young monk had a secret affair with a woman but one day he was seen by the bridge buying a hairpin which was a telltale sign that he had a lover. Because monks were not allowed to be romantically involved with anyone, he and the woman fled together before he could be punished. The Yosakoi song, played by each dancing group in the famous Yosakoi Festival (see "Do" section), is about this event and directly names the bridge in the lyrics. The bridge is very small so it's probably only worth visiting if the story interests you.
