本川橋

Motokawa Bridge is a steel bridge in Tsubame with a truss structure designed to handle vehicles and regular traffic. The construction allows both cars and pedestrians to cross the river comfortably.

The bridge has connected communities in the Niigata region since the Edo period and supported historical trade routes. Its construction in steel reinforced it as modern infrastructure that strengthened local connections.

The bridge functions as a central point for local festivals throughout the year, where residents gather to celebrate traditional events and customs.

Walkways run along both sides of the bridge for safe pedestrian crossing. Local craft workshops, restaurants, and shops selling regional products are accessible nearby.

The structure incorporates engineering elements specifically adapted to the local terrain while maintaining the capacity for heavy agricultural transport.
