Popular Japanese Bridge designs are Covered Japanese garden bridge, Moon Bridge or Drum Bridge, Strolling Pond Bridge, Stone Slab Bridge and Eight fold BridgeOn the other hand Moon Bridges are highly arched bridges which when viewed from a distance look like a complete circle. Also when you glance down into the reflection in the water below, you will see a complete circle. The bridge is made out of carefully cut stripes of wood which give it a well curved shape. Log Bridges are primarily made with logs. Since the environment is damp all around, you should go for well treated logs which are placed across 2 long logs permitted the people to go across the stream or river. If log bridges are made across rivers it is imperative that they will develop moss and algae on them which makes it essential to remove them on regular basis.
