笠戸大橋, Red bridge in Kudamatsu, Japan
Kasado Bridge is a bridge in Kudamatsu that links the city with Kasado Island across a bay. The structure features a distinctive red steel design and allows both vehicles and pedestrians to cross.
The bridge was completed in 1970 and became an important link between the city and the island. It transformed connections for residents and enabled new possibilities for the communities on both sides.
The name Kasado refers to the island it connects to, a place historically tied to fishing and maritime life that remains an integral part of the local identity today.
The bridge is easy to access and you can walk across it, with separate pedestrian paths on both sides. The best time to visit is during good weather when the views of the bay and surrounding area are clear.
The bridge combines different construction techniques to create a stable crossing over the bay. This blend of steel and concrete elements shows how engineering solutions were adapted to suit the local conditions.
