Yasaka Bridge


Yasaka Bridge, spanning the boundary between Miwa town and Otake city, stands out grandly against the background of Yasaka Valley and Shirataki Mountain, both scenic spots.

The bridge boasts a length of 560 meters, a width of 10.4 meters, with its road surface standing at a height of 90 meters above the lake. The total weight of steel girders used for construction amounted to 2,600 tons.

This bridge has been built with special attention paid to the scenery of the dam. Its simple and elegant shape is renowned as one of the most beautiful steel cable-stayed bridges in Japan.
