比治山スカイウォーク

比治山スカイウォーク, Pedestrian bridge in Hiroshima, Japan.

The Hijiyama Skywalk is a covered pedestrian bridge and moving walkway in the Danbara district of Minami-ku, Hiroshima. It runs above the east portal of the Hijiyama Tunnel and links the Hiroshima East shopping building to the slopes of Mount Hijiyama. Its total length is 207.4 m, including a 77 m moving walkway, with a height difference of 37.5 m and a width of 7.08 m.

In the 1980s Hiroshima considered building a museum on Hijiyama, and to ease the resulting parking shortage the idea arose of using the Hiroshima East shopping centre's car park. The city opened the Skywalk in March 1998 to serve the redeveloped Danbara district and visitors to Hijiyama Park, the Contemporary Art Museum and the Manga Library. It cost 1.76 billion yen, 530 million of it a national subsidy.

The bridge connects visitors to the city's manga library and the contemporary art museum, making these cultural spaces more accessible to the public. This location has helped draw people interested in modern art to an area that might otherwise be passed by.

The walkway links the Hiroshima East commercial building directly to the Hijiyama hilltop, crossing above the east portal of the Hijiyama Tunnel. It runs about 207 m with a 37.5 m height difference, including a 77 m moving walkway and an escalator that takes wheelchairs. Cherry-blossom season brings the most users; on weekdays it is little used.

The walkway's 207.4 m total length includes a 77 m moving walkway and climbs a height difference of 37.5 m, with a standard cross-section 4.00–5.88 m wide and 3.39 m high under a transparent roof. It was designed by Yachiyo Engineering's Hiroshima branch and built by a joint venture of Sunahara-gumi and Nishiki Kensetsu.
