Showa Bridge: A Vermilion Landmark Amidst Autumn's Splendor・昭和橋：紅葉に映える朱色のランドマーク
Located in the Hikawa Gorge, the Showa Bridge is a steel-framed deck arch bridge featuring a braced spandrel design that was built in 1959.
Conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from Oku-Tama Station on the Ome Line or a 2-minute walk from the Choei Hikawa Parking Lot, this bridge offers a stunning vantage point. It spans high above the confluence where the Nippara River meets the Tama River.
Both sides of the bridge are equipped with wide sidewalks, providing breathtaking views of the Hikawa Gorge. Here, the rivers carve their way through the steep, verdant slopes of the Okutama Mountains, situated in the far western reaches of Tokyo Prefecture.
