Koyama Himon

The brick bridge stretches 8.54 meters in length and 3 meters in width, crossing the Sakagawa River while carrying Chiba Prefectural Road Route 5.

Architect Fujisaku Ueda designed and constructed this engineering structure in 1898, incorporating brick materials during a period of industrial development in Japan.

The Japan Society of Civil Engineers recognized the bridge as a heritage site in 2016, marking its importance in Japanese architectural preservation.

The structure functions both as a road bridge for vehicle traffic and as a sluice gate, maintaining water flow control in the Sakagawa River system.

The bridge combines three distinct architectural elements in its design: a spectacles bridge format, a road bridge configuration, and a water control mechanism.
