開国橋, Steel girder bridge in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

The Kaikoku Bridge is a steel girder bridge spanning the Fuji River in Yamanashi Prefecture. This structure stretches 492 meters long and 23.3 meters wide, carrying both vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the waterway.

The bridge was built in 1899 during Japan's period of rapid industrial development. Since then, it has served as a vital link supporting transportation and economic growth in the Fuji River region.

The bridge structure reflects the engineering methods of late 19th century Japan, incorporating traditional design elements with modern steel construction techniques.

The bridge is open year-round and accessible for both walking and driving. Plan to cross it as part of local travel in the area, and stay aware of traffic conditions during peak periods.

On clear days, the bridge offers views toward Mount Fuji as you travel across it. This proximity to the famous mountain makes it a notable vantage point for those interested in the landscape.
