玉淀大橋

The Eshima Ohashi Bridge extends 1.7 kilometers across Lake Nakaumi with a gradient of 6.1% on one side and 5.1% on the other side.

The construction of this steel bridge between 1997 and 2004 replaced an older drawbridge that limited traffic flow and allowed only vehicles under 14 tons.

The bridge gained international recognition through social media platforms due to photographs that emphasize its steep appearance from specific angles.

Visitors can access designated observation points near the convenience store on the Shimane side to photograph the bridge's distinct architectural features.

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.
