Maizuru Crane Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Maizuru, Japan.

The Maizuru Crane Bridge is a white steel cable-stayed bridge over Taira Bay in Maizuru, Kyoto Prefecture, opened in May 1999. It is 735 m long, and the top of its main tower stands about 95 m above the water. The cables fan out from the tower to the roadway, and the longest span measures 350 m.

The bridge stands near historic repatriation facilities where Japanese citizens returned from overseas after World War II in 1945. This location marks an important point in the country's postwar history tied to the homecoming of people.

The name comes from the two cranes the design evokes: the main tower is shaped like a crane's beak and the fan-patterned cables like its wings, hence the English name Crane Bridge. The white steel pylon and cables can be read as a bird from the bay below.

The bridge is easiest to reach by car, taking about 20 minutes from the Maizuru-Higashi Interchange. The nearby Repatriation Memorial Museum can be visited on the same trip, as it sits close to the bridge.

Its 350 m main span is the second longest among cable-stayed bridges on the Sea of Japan coast, after the Shinminato Bridge in Toyama Prefecture. The bridge was built on the order of Kansai Electric Power as part of the access road for the Maizuru power station.
