The name of this bridge is Taushubetsu kyoryo. kyoryo means bridge in Japanese. this old bridge exists in Nukabira region, the center of Hokkaido. this old bridge just like ancient roman construction product, was made more than fifty years ago.
 This is one of the remnants of Japanese old railroad line (Shihoro line) that became extinct in 1987. Since Nukabira dam was constructed, this bridge has been under the water. But every summer when water level got down, it emerges above the water. So we call it "Bridge of Vision".
 以前はこのように近くまで林道を通って車で到達できたのだが、2009年に国道近くに展望台ができてからは林道が閉鎖されてしまい、近くまで行くには片道4kmを歩かなければならない。
ヒグマの出没頻度が高い場所であり、まして日の出前や日没後に出歩くのは危険としか言いようがない。事実上、近くで写真を撮ることは難しくなってしまった。
