Megane Bridge, or Spectacles Bridge, is an iconic stone arch bridge located in Nagasaki, Japan. Constructed in 1634 by the Chinese monk Mokusunyoujo, it is renowned as the oldest stone arch bridge in Japan. The bridge spans the Nakashima River, and its name, "Megane," which means "spectacles" in Japanese, derives from the reflection of its twin arches in the water, which resemble a pair of eyeglasses. The bridge is an important cultural landmark and has been designated as an Important Cultural Property.
