Jogakura Bridge
城ヶ倉大橋
A large deck arch bridge spanning the Jōgakura gorge about 120 meters above the valley floor, with dramatic views of the autumn foliage below.
Jogakura Bridge opened in 1995. It is about 360 meters long, one of the longest deck arch bridges in Japan, and crosses the Jōgakura gorge about 120 meters above the valley floor. A walkway runs across the bridge, and in autumn (around mid-October) you can look down on the foliage of the whole gorge. On clear days you can also see Mount Iwaki in the distance. There are parking lots at both ends, and it is about a 5-minute drive from Sukayu Onsen, a standard stop on the Hakkoda driving route. Entry is free, but in winter the wind and snow are strong and the deck may freeze, so take care.
