100 Bridges of Japan | Japan Top 100s

About this collection

This collection features bridges selected by engineering specialists for qualities such as design, construction and their place in the landscape. It offers a way to explore the structures that connect communities, from historic crossings to modern infrastructure.

The original publication also introduces natural rock formations shaped like bridges. These are different from built bridges, and access varies by location. Check whether a site has a public viewing area or walking route before visiting; inclusion in this collection does not mean that a bridge can be crossed on foot.
