Miyuki Bridge, Urban bridge in central Hiroshima, Japan.
Miyuki Bridge crosses one of six rivers that flow through Hiroshima, combining contemporary construction with reinforced elements from its original form. The structure serves as a major passage for pedestrians and vehicles moving between neighborhoods.
This location became a critical refuge for injured civilians immediately following the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945. People gathered here seeking medical aid and emergency care in the days that followed.
This crossing links two neighborhoods and shows how the city has woven water systems into daily movement. Residents pass through here as part of their ordinary routes across town.
The bridge is easily accessible on foot and near Higashisenda Park, the Hiroshima City Museum, and local dining spots. Visitors can explore the surrounding area and visit multiple attractions in a single walk.
Photographer Yoshito Matsushige documented rare images here of survivors receiving emergency treatment. His pictures capture people being treated with cooking oil for radiation burns, creating a powerful historical record of that time.
