Hanekura Bridge

Hanekura Bridge is a steel structure in Sakura Ward that spans across a waterway in northern Saitama Prefecture. It features separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrians to handle traffic flow efficiently.

This structure was built in the late 20th century to support the region's rapid growth and development. It became an important link in the transportation network during the period of urban expansion in northern Saitama.

The bridge stands as a central meeting point for local festivals and community gatherings, particularly during spring when cherry blossoms line the nearby streets.

Access is best from Nishi-Urawa Station, which is located a few kilometers away. The bridge is walkable and the pedestrian paths are clearly marked.

The bridge sits at an elevation of 5 meters above sea level and integrates multiple transportation networks, serving as a vital link between several neighborhoods.
