Mikuni Bridge, Road bridge in Kazo and Koga, Japan
Mikuni Bridge crosses the Kiso River and connects the municipalities of Kazo and Koga in Japan's Kanto region. The structure forms part of the local road network and provides a direct passage across the water for vehicles and pedestrians.
The bridge was built to connect communities that previously relied on ferry services to cross the Kiso River. Its construction represented the shift from traditional water-based crossings to modern road infrastructure in this part of Japan.
The bridge serves as a vital crossing point that has shaped how the two neighboring communities interact and move between each other. It represents the practical side of how places develop infrastructure to support daily life and commerce.
The bridge is accessible from major roads on both the Kazo and Koga sides, with walking paths available for pedestrians. The crossing provides views of the river and the surrounding landscape as you traverse it.
