Morinaga Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Tsurumi district, Yokohama, Japan.
Morinaga Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Tsurumi River in Yokohama's Tsurumi district. The structure features a 25-meter-high tower and provides pedestrian walkways on both sides alongside traffic lanes in each direction.
The current bridge was completed in 1998, replacing an older structure from the 1950s. The new design incorporated modern engineering techniques to better serve the port and industrial areas of the district.
The bridge connects residential neighborhoods with important public facilities like the sports center and rowing course along the river. This connection makes it part of daily life for people moving between these areas.
The walkways are level and well-maintained with clear markings and stable surfaces. Plan your visit during quieter times to avoid heavy vehicle traffic and enjoy a more peaceful crossing.
The bridge takes its name from the Morinaga Confectionery Factory located on the right bank of the river. Small viewing terraces are built into the pedestrian walkways near the pillars, offering glimpses of the commercial area and waterway below.
