Kintai Bridge, also known as Kintaikyo, is a historic wooden bridge located in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. It was first built in 1673 by Hiroyoshi Kikkawa, the third lord of the Iwakuni Domain, and was reconstructed in 1953 after being destroyed several times by floods and war.

The bridge spans the Nishiki River and is made up of five wooden arches. The bridge is renowned for its beautiful design and is considered a masterpiece of Japanese wooden bridge architecture. The bridge is also surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, including cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn foliage in the fall.
