Bandai Bridge, Niigata

(240+ reviews on the web)

Bridge

After having undergone three incarnations since the Meiji period, today's version of Bandai Bridge dates from 1929 and stands as a symbol of Niigata both for its Showa architecture and historical importance. As the first bridge across the Shinano River, it brought about greater commerce between communities on the opposite banks. After the destruction of the first two wooden versions, the third features a reinforced concrete design. (A nearby shopping district displays materials from the first two in an underground passage.) Embark on a boat tour along the river, or simply find a nice place on the banks to sit down on the grace under Japanese cherry blossoms and enjoy the view. With our custom trip planner, Niigata attractions like Bandai Bridge can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.

I'm not sure what is so exciting about this bridge. There are far better examples of concrete construction in many other cities. However, it does give easy access to Furu-machi (Old Town). more »

新潟のシンボル萬代橋。河口付近なので川幅が広く、橋の上はお天気が良ければかなり爽快です。欄干が腰くらいまでの高さしかないので、風が強い日に渡るのは少し怖く感じるかも。

平成16年に国の重要文化財に指定された新潟のシンボル、三代目の萬代橋。初代、及び二代目は木造の橋で、現在の流作場五差路が橋の袂のようでした。そこに立つと当時はいかに川幅があり長い橋だったんだなと想像、実感できます。現在の約3倍程の長さだったそうです。

Bandai bridge symbol of Niigata 0/2004 designated important cultural assets in the country, the third. First and second generation 2 is a wooden bridge, as dishwasher 5 channel current was as part of the bridge. Imagine that I was standing there at the time how River has a long bridge, can be realized. It was about three times the current length.

橋の上に立つより、川沿いにある歩道からじっくり眺めるとつくづく「いいなぁ」と癒される。鑑賞価値十分の文化財だろう。

And from the pedestrian standing on the bridge of the river than to look at the quite "nice!" and be healed. It would be 10 minutes worth appreciating cultural heritage.
