旭川大橋, Steel arch bridge in Asahikawa, Japan
Description
The Asahikawa Ohashi is a steel arch bridge that crosses the Ishikari River with a span of 225 meters (738 feet). Its deck is 18 meters (59 feet) wide and connects both banks of the northern city.
History
Built in 1932 using steel imported from Germany, this bridge replaced an earlier wooden crossing. It was constructed during a period when the city strengthened its infrastructure for military transport.
Culture
The bridge links the city center with residential areas and allows people to cross the Ishikari River as part of their daily routines. It shapes how the city feels divided across the water.
Practical
Taking the bus to Tokiwa-koen stop provides the most direct access, followed by a short walk of around 200 meters to reach the bridge. It sits about 1.8 kilometers from JR Asahikawa Station.
