Shin-Kuzuryu Bridge over the River
OnlineThis camera looks out over the broad Kuzuryu River as it sweeps beneath the Shin-Kuzuryu Bridge, Japan's first combined railway-and-road structure carrying the Hokuriku Shinkansen alongside a prefectural highway. Beyond the water, the rooftops of Fukui spread toward a rolling ridge of distant mountains, with vehicles tracing a steady line across the elegant span.

Everything you need to know about this live stream
An Engineering Landmark
The Shin-Kuzuryu Bridge is a notable feat of Japanese engineering, recognized as the country's first integrated bridge to carry both a Shinkansen rail line and an ordinary road across a single span. Its slender piers rise from the riverbed and frame the wide channel of the Kuzuryu below.
The Kuzuryu River
One of the principal rivers of the Hokuriku region, the Kuzuryu flows through the heart of Fukui Prefecture on its way to the Sea of Japan. From this vantage the river broadens into gravel bars and reed-lined banks, a quiet ribbon of water threading the valley floor.
The City of Fukui
On the far bank, the capital of Fukui Prefecture stretches out in a low, even skyline of houses and industry, backed by the forested hills that ring the basin. The scene captures the meeting of infrastructure and landscape that defines this corner of central Japan.
