Takachiho Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Takachiho, Japan.

The Takachiho Railway Bridge spans across the gorge with four Warren truss spans, reaching a height of 105 meters and extending 117 meters in length.

The bridge, completed in December 1971, served rail transport until 2005 when a typhoon caused substantial damage to the railway infrastructure.

The structure represents Japanese engineering excellence and connects to local traditions through its integration with the Amaterasu Railway, named after the sun goddess.

Visitors can experience the bridge during a 30-minute super cart ride that departs from Takachiho Station ten times daily between 9:40 AM and 3:40 PM.

The structure holds the distinction of being Japan's highest railway bridge, situated in a region containing fifteen elevated bridges within a 30-kilometer radius.
