Visit Report: Bankoku Bridge
A concrete arch bridge built in 1940 that connects the Shinko district of Minato Mirai with the Kaigan-dori district of Kannai.

The scenery offers such picture-perfect beautiful compositions that it has become a popular spot where you'll always spot people taking photos with smartphones and DSLR cameras whenever you visit.
Since it's located in a very accessible spot and offers free nightscape viewing, be sure to stop by when you visit the Minato Mirai area for sightseeing.
