Akkeshi Bridge

Akkeshi Bridge spans approximately 456 meters across the Akkeshi River, linking two sections of this Hokkaido town. The structure carries both cars and pedestrians and requires no entrance fees to cross.

Built in 1972, this bridge was among the early structures that modernized Hokkaido's infrastructure over waterways. The project represented a turning point in regional transportation development.

The deep red color of this structure makes it a recognizable landmark for locals and visitors exploring the coastal town.

The bridge is easily accessible on foot or by car, with clear walkways for visitors crossing the river. Plan time to pause and take in the water views and surrounding landscape.

Photographers visit at different times of year to capture the red structure during sunrise and sunset when light enhances its color. The reflection of this structure in the water creates memorable images during these peak light hours.
