The Sanriku Railway Osawa Bridge is a scenic highlight on the Sanriku Railway, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Located between Horiuchi and Shirai Kaigan stations, this 30-meter-high bridge provides a unique vantage point, especially known for a brief stop allowing passengers to take photos. Featured in the NHK drama "Amachan," the bridge overlooks the small Sawa fishing port and the rugged Sanriku coastline. For the best experience, try to catch a train that pauses on the bridge, and consider visiting the nearby Horiuchi Ohashi bridge for a different perspective. The views are particularly stunning on clear days, offering a memorable glimpse of the Pacific horizon.
