    Ishikawa Kahoku-gun Uchinadamachi Daigaku 1- Miyasaka
    This Uchinada Town landmark is also known as the Uchinada Bridge. The design of the 344-meter-long cable-stayed bridge was inspired by yukuzuri, a traditional technique and symbol of winter in the Hokuriku region in which ropes are arranged around trees to protect them from heavy snows. The elegant bridge is a sight to behold even in the daytime, but it is at night when visitors are particularly recommended to check it out. From sunset to 9:00 p. m., the bridge is lit up, wrapping the area in a romantic atmosphere. Because of its beauty, it is a perfect date destination, and the bridge has also been nominated for inclusion in the Lover’s Sanctuary Project as one of the most powerful love spots in the country.

    Yamanashi Pref. Otsukishi Saruhashimachi Saruhashi

It is notably supported by four-layered Hanegi (slantingly protruding wooden member to support roof and bridge) that extend from both sides of the river. The bridge is said to have been inspired by arched shape of a troop of monkeys walking along a deep ravine. This scenic spot is a great place to enjoy the seasonal scenery of the Katsura River Valley.

    Tokyo Chiyoda-ku Surugadai 4- Bunkyo-ku Yushima 1
    "This bridge spans the Kanda River close to Ochanomizu Station, connecting Kandasurugadai 4-Chome, Chiyoda City and Yushima 1-Chome, Bunkyo City. The bridge was built in 1927 as part of a restoration project initiated after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. The bridge's name is written with a character meaning ""saint"" or ""virtuous"" and is derived from the fact that it connects the Yushima Seido temple and the Holy Resurrection Cathedral, both of whose Japanese names are also written with this character."

    Toyama Kurobe-shi Ikuji Aimonocho

It's a rare design, and was the first such rotating half-bridge in Japan.
