Kiritappu Bridge, Iron arch bridge in Hamanaka, Hokkaido, Japan

The Kiritappu Bridge extends across Biwase Bay and Hamanaka Bay, featuring a modern iron tied arch design that connects both sides of the water.

The completion of Kiritappu Bridge in 1999 marked a new era for transportation infrastructure within the Akkeshi-Kiritappu-Konbumori Quasi-National Park region of Hokkaido.

Local fishing communities gather near the bridge throughout the year, maintaining traditional practices while benefiting from improved regional connectivity.

The bridge serves as part of Hokkaido Prefectural Road Route 1039, providing essential access for vehicles and pedestrians between previously separated coastal areas.

Located at coordinates 43°04'51"N, 145°07'05"E, the bridge stands as a engineering achievement that enhanced access to natural reserves in eastern Hokkaido.

GPS coordinates: 43.08083,145.11806
