Mogamigawa Bridge

Mogamigawa Bridge is a railway crossing over the Mogami River in the region of the same name. It connects the two riverbanks with a steel framework supported by multiple pillars set into the riverbed.

The bridge was built in the early 1900s to support railway connections between communities along the Mogami River. This project significantly improved regional transportation and trade across the area.

The bridge represents Japanese engineering excellence and serves as a central point for local festivals celebrating the four distinct seasons.

You can reach the bridge from the main highway nearby and find several parking areas in the vicinity. Observation points along the route allow good views regardless of the season.

During winter, natural ice crystals form on the steel structure and sparkle when sunlight hits them. These delicate formations give the bridge an unusually shimmering appearance in the colder months.
