Asahi Bridge, River bridge in central Hiroshima, Japan.
Asahi Bridge is a T-shaped crossing over the river in Hiroshima that links different city districts through its concrete and steel structure. This route allows both pedestrians and vehicles to access several major neighborhoods and transportation centers.
The bridge developed as a key transportation connection in Hiroshima and sustained severe damage from the atomic bombing in 1945. Despite destruction, its structure remained and was later rebuilt, contributing to the city's modern development.
Located near Peace Memorial Park, the bridge connects visitors traveling between modern districts and spaces dedicated to remembrance. Passers-by often notice how this crossing links everyday city life with places of quiet reflection.
Crossing on foot takes only a few minutes and is possible at any time of day. Visitors should be cautious in rain or poor weather conditions, as the surface can become slippery.
The bridge's distinctive T-shape made it a recognizable navigational marker for aircraft during World War II. Today this geometric form remains instantly visible from above, helping visitors orient themselves in the city.
