#FukuokaItinerary


Wakato Bridge is an important bridge connecting Wakamatsu District and Tobata District in Kitakyushu. It is also the first large suspension bridge in Japan. It is 628 meters long and has become a local landmark with its bright red appearance. This bridge is not only an important transportation route, but also a unique tourist attraction. From the bridge, you can overlook the harbor scenery of Wakamatsu and Tobata, especially at sunset, when the setting sun shines on the sea and the bridge, the scene is very magnificent. The nearby "Takatayama Park" is the best place to enjoy the night view of Wakato Bridge. When night falls, the lights on the bridge are reflected on the sea, and the scenery is like a dream, attracting many photography enthusiasts to come and take pictures. In addition, there is the Wakamatsu Historical Folk Museum near the Wakato Bridge, which displays the port development and industrial history of Kitakyushu, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the city's changes. Wakato-Ohashi Bridge is not only a functional bridge, but also a fascinating attraction that combines history, architecture and beautiful scenery. It is recommended for travelers who like photography and night views!
