Miyamorigawa Bridge, Railway bridge in Tono, Japan.

The Miyamorigawa Bridge consists of five concrete arches spanning 107.3 meters across the Miyamorigawa River and National Route 283 at a height of 17.8 meters.

Built in 1915 as part of the Iwate Light Railway and reconstructed in 1943, the bridge retains three original stone pillars from its first construction period.

The bridge structure influenced Japanese author Kenji Miyazawa when writing his renowned children's story 'Night on the Galactic Railroad' in the early 20th century.

The bridge connects Miyamori and Kashiwagidaira stations on the JR East Kamaishi Line, with direct access from National Route 283 and the Kamaishi Expressway.

The bridge receives LED illumination every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from sunset until 10 PM, creating distinct patterns across its five concrete arches.
