Saitama-o-hashi

The Saitama-o-hashi Bridge extends 763 meters across the Tone River, connecting the Mugi-kura and Saba districts of Kazo City.

The bridge opened in 1972 to replace a ferry service, initially operating as a toll bridge until its transition to free passage in 1989.

The bridge serves as a gathering point for photographers and residents who congregate to witness the sunrise over the Tone River each morning.

The structure features pedestrian walkways on both upstream and downstream sides, with red guide poles installed along the boundary lines in 2014.

The bridge construction cost 930 million yen and spans ten sections, with its largest span measuring 80 meters across the water.
