Shirakawabashi Bridge running over the Shirakawa River as it passes through Kumamoto.

The Shirakawa river (Japanese: 白川) is a first-class river that runs down from Mount Aso through Kumamoto.[1] In the past the Shirakawa River has overflowed and led to severe flooding such as during the 1953 North Kyushu flood.
