On the northeast side of Hankyu Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station, the narrow road between “Takagi Hachiman-dori” and “Shako Kita-sen” is commonly known as “Seseragi no Michi.”
It’s a road in this quiet residential neighborhood.
There’s an irrigation channel running alongside the road, and where the channel and the road intersect, there are small bridges, if you can really call them that, each with a number on it.
Here’s the bridge closest to the front.
It’s engraved with “壱ノ橋” (“First Bridge”).
Among the named bridges in Nishinomiya, this might be the shortest one.
Next to it was “弐ノ橋” (“Second Bridge”).
I wonder how many there are.
“参ノ橋” (“Third Bridge”)
“四ノ橋” (“Fourth Bridge”)
“五ノ橋” (“Fifth Bridge”)
“六ノ橋” (“Sixth Bridge”)
They went up to “七の橋” (“Seventh Bridge”).
Even an ordinary alley and irrigation channel can gain a bit of charm with a small touch like this.
