Momosuke Bridge, Wooden suspension bridge in Nagiso, Japan

Momosuke Bridge is a 247.762 m wooden suspension bridge over the Kiso River, with a 2.728 m wide timber truss deck and three piers. Two grey concrete towers, each pierced by a rounded opening near the top, carry thin cables down to vertical suspenders. The central pier has a stone stairway down to the riverbed.

Built from 1921 and completed in 1922 by Daido Electric to carry construction materials for the Yomikaki power station, the bridge was donated to Yomikaki village in 1950 and became a village road. In 1978 a broken wind cable during high water forced its closure, and a town council vote declared it abandoned; removal was never funded. It reopened in 1993 after restoration under the Taisho-roman Momosuke Memorial Park project.

The bridge owes its name to Momosuke Fukuzawa, president of Daido Electric, who wanted it called after himself; opposition forced the name Momo-no-hashi until the 1993 restoration made Momosuke Bridge official. It is nicknamed Momo Bridge. Since 2012 LED lamps light it at night, replacing mercury lamps.

The bridge is accessible on foot, with a short walk of about 10 minutes from JR Nagiso Station leading directly to the structure. Several viewpoints along National Route 19 allow visitors to observe the structure and the surrounding landscape from different angles.

The bridge's name was a compromise: owner Momosuke Fukuzawa wanted it called after himself, but objections led to the official name Momonohashi; "Momosuke Bridge" only became official with the 1993 restoration. The three piers include a central one with a stone stairway down to the riverbed, added to steady the pier and let people reach the water.
