白川橋（荒川）

Scary ^ _ ^

It's quite expensive ~ ?

Be careful of children with low fences.

It is a bridge that crosses on the way from Mitsumineguchi Station to Geogravity Park.

You can get down to the river

Bungee jumping and others can be seen in front of you My grandson was happy too But the height is scary In addition, there is Mitsumineguchi Station of Chichibu Railway in the immediate vicinity. SL Paleo Express wrap There is a turntable It's an irresistible place for people who like railways

Apart from the bridge itself, it is a famous observatory and a geological boundary for enthusiasts. From the middle of the bridge as an observatory, when you first look at the upstream side, it becomes a V-shaped valley where the autumn leaves are particularly beautiful, and on the downstream side, a gentle valley where the Arakawa flows connects to the center of the Chichibu Basin. The upstream side is due to mixed rocks called the Chichibu belt (melange, complex with hard and soft mixes), and the downstream side is the soft rocks deposited during the time when the Chichibu basin was the sea called Kochibu Bay and the steps carried by Arakawa. Because it is mainly sediment. If you look at this area on the geological map Navi, you can see that the point where Shirakawa Bridge is located is just the boundary, the point of conglomerate (which can be formed in the shallow sea), that is, the time when the old Chichibu Bay was the largest (the Chichibu basin is the most). It is inferred that it was close to the shore of the subsidence). In addition, the formation period of the Chichibu belt is 200 to 150 million years, and the formation of the sedimentary layer of Kochibu Bay is about 15 million years, and this place is also the boundary of that era and time. Finally, the end point of the Chichibu Railway was Mitsumineguchi, probably because it was very difficult to civilize the mixed rocks of the Chichibu belt at that time. The cableway from the abandoned Chichibu mine went around the north side from Haccho Pass to avoid the Chichibu belt and connected to the mine just ahead of Mitsumineguchi station.

A 115-meter-long steel arch bridge over the Arakawa River that carves a deep valley. The scenery below is wonderful, but you can also enjoy watching the canyon swing (similar to a bungee jump) held at a nearby facility (laughs).
