Nagoya Port Drawbridge, Historic drawbridge in Port of Nagoya, Japan
The Nagoya Port Drawbridge spans 63.4 meters in length and 4.7 meters in width, featuring four spans with one movable section that can be raised 78 degrees.
Built in 1927 to connect the Horikawa and Nakagawa canals, this bridge facilitated the expansion of railway transportation for the textile industry in the Port of Nagoya.
The bridge represents a significant achievement in Japanese engineering, as it was designed by Utaro Yamamoto and marked the transition from imported to domestic bridge construction technology.
Visitors can observe the permanently raised bridge structure from the Inari Bridge location, with detailed information available through the Nagoya Port Authority office.
This structure stands as Japan's oldest existing drawbridge and received recognition as an Important Cultural Property in 1999 and Modern Industrial Heritage in 2009.
