The Higashizawa Great Bridge, also known as Higashizawa Ohashi, is a striking red bridge located in Hokuto, Yamanashi Prefecture. Situated along the Yatsugatake Highland Line, it offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, especially during the autumn foliage season when the contrast between the red bridge and the colorful leaves is particularly beautiful. The bridge is easily accessible by car from the Nagasaka or Kobuchizawa Interchanges on the Chuo Expressway, or by taking the JR Koumi Line to Kiyosato Station and then the Kiyosato Picnic Bus (seasonal). A viewing platform near the bridge provides panoramic vistas, making it a popular spot for photographers and tourists alike. The bridge is a symbol of the Kiyosato Highlands and a must-see for visitors to the area.
