Futago Bridge

Futago Bridge is a road structure crossing the Tamagawa River to connect Setagaya and Takatsu districts using a steel girder design. It spans 440 meters in length with a width of 11.1 meters and integrates into the National Route 246 network for vehicle traffic.

An earlier version was built in 1925 as a key river crossing for the region. The current structure replaced it in 1978 to handle increased traffic demands between Tokyo and Kawasaki.

During spring, people from the surrounding neighborhoods gather here to watch cherry blossoms bloom along the riverbanks below, making this a seasonal meeting place for the local community.

The bridge carries regular car and truck traffic as part of the main route between Tokyo and Kawasaki, so walking here offers views of the river and surrounding areas. Best times to walk are early morning or evening when traffic is lighter and safer for pedestrians.

On clear days, Mount Fuji is visible from the bridge deck, offering a striking mountain view above the urban landscape. This makes the crossing a moment where nature and city meet in a single perspective.
