Hayakawa Bridge, Iron railway bridge in Hakone, Japan.

The Hayakawa Bridge extends across the Hayakawa River Valley between Tonosawa Station and Deyama Signal Station on the Hakone Tozan Railway line.

British engineer Charles Assheton Whately Pownall designed this iron truss bridge, which opened on May 31, 1917, marking a milestone in Japanese railway engineering.

The bridge earned recognition as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan in 1999, representing the development of transportation infrastructure in the region.

Passengers can experience the bridge by taking the Hakone Tozan Railway from Odawara Station, with multiple daily train services crossing the structure.

During autumn, train services occasionally pause on the bridge, allowing passengers to observe the red and gold foliage throughout the valley.
