Hino Bridge, Road bridge between Hino and Tachikawa, Japan

Hino Bridge is a road bridge carrying Tokyo Route 256 (the old Koshu Kaido) across the Tama River between Tachikawa's Nishikicho 6-chome on the left bank and Hino on the right bank. It is 367.26 m long and 10.5 m wide, built as a simple reinforced-concrete girder bridge.

Hino Bridge opened on 25 August 1926 as a bridge of National Route 8, about 367 m long and 7.3 m wide, built for 134,274 yen. It replaced the Hino ferry, which had carried travellers across the Tama River since 1684. In the 1960s the deck was widened from 7.3 m to 10.5 m for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics cycling route. Typhoon Hagibis damaged the road in October 2019; repairs ended in May 2020, and traffic moved to a temporary bridge in May 2025.

The crossing is still called Hino no Watashi after the ferry it replaced; that ferry, run by Hino-shuku, carried travellers on the Koshu highway from 1684 until the bridge opened in 1926. A monument to the ferry stands on the Tachikawa bank, and the bridge's name keeps the old crossing alive.

The bridge is open to vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians at all times without tolls or fees. Water levels in the river below can vary seasonally, which sometimes requires maintenance checks to ensure safe crossing conditions.

The bridge carried National Route 20 until 2007, when the Hino Bypass took over that designation and the old Koshu Kaido alignment became Tokyo Metropolitan Route 256. In October 2019 Typhoon Hagibis caused a road cave-in and closure; traffic returned on 12 May 2020. A temporary replacement bridge opened on 14 May 2025, with the full replacement project scheduled for completion in 2032.
