Kawaguchiko Bridge, Road bridge in Fujikawaguchiko, Japan.
The 500-meter Kawaguchiko Bridge spans across Lake Kawaguchi, providing direct views of Mount Fuji and the surrounding mountain ranges.
The bridge construction started in 1968 as a toll road to reduce traffic congestion around Lake Kawaguchi and opened to traffic in 1971.
The bridge earned recognition in 1987 as part of the 100 Best Roads in Japan for its integration with the natural landscape of Mount Fuji.
Pedestrian walkways on both sides of the bridge allow visitors to cross Lake Kawaguchi while observing the lake and mountain scenery.
This structure remains the only bridge crossing any of the Fuji Five Lakes, connecting the northern and southern shores of Lake Kawaguchi.
