霞橋

Kasumibashi Bridge is a steel structure that crosses Lake Nakaumi and connects Shimane and Tottori prefectures. The bridge uses reinforced steel construction to carry vehicle traffic between the two regions.

The bridge opened in 2004 and created a direct road link between Matsue and Sakaiminato. It represented a major infrastructure project that improved connections across the lake.

The bridge represents Japanese engineering excellence, demonstrating the nation's commitment to developing efficient transportation systems across water bodies.

The bridge has noticeable slopes that affect driving, especially for slower vehicles. Visitors should be prepared for the crossing to feel somewhat exposed to wind and weather.

The bridge spans across open water for a considerable distance, offering views during the crossing. On clear days travelers can see the surrounding hills and shoreline from the structure.
