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

The Maizuru Crane Bridge extends 735 meters across Maizuru Taira Bay with a central tower reaching 95 meters above the water level.

The bridge stands near former repatriation facilities where numerous Japanese citizens returned from overseas following World War II in 1945.

The structure incorporates design elements representing a crane, with the main tower forming the beak and supporting cables resembling extended wings.

Visitors can reach the bridge within 20 minutes by car from the Maizuru-Higashi Interchange, with the Repatriation Memorial Museum located nearby.

The bridge holds the distinction of being the largest cable-stayed structure along the entire Sea of Japan coastline.
