    Tochigi Pref. Utsunomiyashi Doujoujukumachi
    Bridging the downtown and Yanagita area in Utsunomiya City Tochigi Prefecture, this bridge, completed in 1970, spans across the Kinugawa River. The Prefectural Route 64, Utsunomiya-Mukada line runs across the bridge. The bridge is expanded, depending on the volume of traffic. The bridge underwent reconstructive work to add two lanes to the existing span, making it a four-lane bridge. Equipped with pedestrian ways, one can walk across the bridge on foot as well.
  • Shirasawa-juku
    Travel / Tourism
    Tochigi Utsunomiya-shi Shirasawacho
    This was the first post station town on the Oshu Kaido highway, one of the Five Routes maintained by the central government during the Edo period. The Shirasawa region sprawling on the north side of what is now Utsunomiya City prospered as a post station town on the Oshu Kaido from the Edo through the Meiji periods; today, many structures as well as cultural practices from this time period can still be found here. Shinto shrines in Shirasawa, once visited by daimyo lord processions and great numbers of travelers, are dedicated to the Seven Gods of Fortune, and visitors exploring the area on foot can enjoy a sort of mini Seven Gods of Fortune pilgrimage by making their way to each of the shrines. The grounds of Shirahige Shrine, dedicated to Daikokuten (Mahakala), offer a sweeping view of the Shirasawa area.

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
