Taushubetsu Bridge, Abandoned railway bridge in Kamishihoro, Japan
The concrete Taushubetsu Bridge extends 130 meters across Lake Nukabira with an arch design standing 11 meters above the water level.
The bridge opened in November 1939 as part of the Shihoro railway line and ceased operations when a new railway route replaced it after World War II.
The structure represents the rapid expansion of Japanese railway infrastructure during the early twentieth century, reflecting the modernization period of Hokkaido.
Local organizations conduct guided tours to the bridge site from late spring through early autumn, with access available through the Nukabira-gensengo area.
Water level changes in Lake Nukabira regularly submerge and reveal the bridge structure, creating a recurring cycle of visibility throughout different seasons.
