鳴瀨川橋, Railway bridge in Higashimatsushima, Japan.
The Naminase River Bridge is a steel railway structure in Higashimatsushima that carries train tracks across the water. It connects the two banks and enables daily passenger service along the Senseki Line route.
The bridge was built in the early 1900s as part of regional railway development in the Matsushima area. It experienced damage during major natural events but has been repaired and continues to serve the region.
The bridge forms an integral part of the Senseki Line, connecting local communities and enabling daily movement of residents between coastal towns.
The best way to view the bridge is to ride a train across it or observe it from a viewpoint on the riverbank. Most visitors can reach it easily from the nearby train station.
The structure withstood significant challenges during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, demonstrating the engineering capabilities of Japanese railway infrastructure.
