Horohira Bridge, named after connecting Sapporo City and Toyohira Town in the early Showa period. The current bridge is built in 1995, the 4th generation counting from the first wooden bridge. The wide ～ sidewalk on the downstream side is maintained as "Portland Square" to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the sister city alliance with Portland City, and is decorated with related monuments, reliefs, flower beds, etc. Through the glass plate in the enclosure cut in the center of the square, you can experience the toyohira gawa River flowing directly under the bridge, and ... of the bridge.

Original Text

The arch of the bridge is a staircase, and it is designed to be able to climb on foot. The fence was low and the view was good, so it became a favorite spot. It's a structure that seems to be useless just by looking at the function as a bridge, so I felt like it was precious.

A bridge that can climb the arch

Original Text

It is a large bridge over the Toyohira River in Sapporo City, and is also the name of the subway station. The unique structure of this bridge is that the sidewalk is wide and the arch is provided, but there are stairs on the arch and you can climb it. There are many arch bridges nationwide, but I think there are no other bridges that can climb the arch.
