Iwakuni artistic manhole cover

The design of the artistic manhole covers in Iwakuni unites the most important three attractions of the city. On the manhole photographed here we have the Iwakuni castle, the bridge Kintai-kyo, one of Japan's finest three bridges, and a less known attraction, the cormorant fishing (ukai in Japanese), an ancient fishing method that can still be witnessed in a few places in Japan.
