The largest trestle bridge in Japan

Amarube Iron Railroad Bridge located in the Sea of Japan side of Hyogo prefecture was once known as the largest trestle bridge in Japan and was also famous as a shooting location for trains. The current bridge is the second generation which was rebuilt in 2010, and it has become a modern construction. Also, at the trail of the former bridge there is also a facility called the “Sky Station”.

You can access there from Amarube station immediately

The “Sky Station” is a spot where you can see the train and the Sea of Japan from the same height (40 meters above the ground) as the train runs. The “Sky Station” is divided into four parts, such as the observation facility section and the track section. If you come to Amarube station by train, it is convenient because you can access from station immediately.

Until now, it was inconvenient to walk from the parking lot or bus stop on the ground to the station 40 meters above the ground in one way over 10 minutes. This road has a steep slope, which places a heavy burden on the body, which is inconvenient for the elderly. In 2017, an elevator facility called “Amarube Crystal Tower”, which allows you to dash up from the ground to Sky Station, was opened.
