Tomoe Bridge

Tomoe Bridge is a concrete and steel structure that crosses the Tomoe River, connecting the two banks while offering views toward the surrounding forested hills. The span accommodates both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, serving as a main crossing point for the local area.

The bridge has connected communities since the Edo period and underwent major reconstruction in 2007 to meet contemporary infrastructure standards. This rebuilding ensured its continued role as a vital transportation link between the two sides of the river.

Local residents gather at the bridge during seasonal festivals to perform traditional ceremonies that honor the connection between the community and the river.

The structure is accessible on foot and served by local bus routes with stops located nearby. Visitors can easily cross the bridge and enjoy the views while traversing.

The location attracts bird watchers during migration seasons when various species visit the river area. Early morning hours offer the best chance to observe these passing birds and their behavior.
