Tadami Line No.1 Tadami River Bridge Viewpoint
第一只見川橋梁ビューポイント
The classic spot to photograph trains crossing the arch bridge over the Tadami River on the Tadami Line; the scenery changes with every season, earning it a reputation as one of Japan's most beautiful hidden railway views.
The No. 1 Tadami River Bridge is located in Mishima Town. It is a deck-arch bridge that carries the JR Tadami Line across the Tadami River. From the trail behind the roadside station Oze Kaidō Mishima-juku, it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to reach the viewpoint, where you can capture the classic scene of a train passing over the emerald river. Autumn foliage, winter snow, and summer morning mist over the river are all famous. The Tadami Line runs only a few trains a day, so check the passing times in advance. The viewpoint is free. In winter the trail is snow-covered, so wear snow boots. It is about 50 minutes by car from Aizu-Wakamatsu.
