玉淀大橋, Steel bridge over Lake Nakaumi, connecting Matsue and Sakaiminato in Japan.
Yudate Ohashi is a steel bridge spanning Lake Nakaumi that connects Matsue and Sakaiminato. The structure features notably steep approach ramps that create a dramatic silhouette when viewed from certain angles.
This bridge was constructed between 1997 and 2004, replacing an older drawbridge that restricted traffic flow. The new structure eliminated weight limitations that had previously affected vehicle transport.
The bridge gained international recognition through social media platforms due to photographs that emphasize its steep appearance from specific angles.
The best photo spots are at observation points on the Shimane side where amenities are available. Light conditions change throughout the day, affecting how the bridge's shape appears in photographs.
The structure ranks as Japan's largest rigid-frame bridge and the world's third-largest, with a height of 44.7 meters at its highest point.
