The Nusamai Bridge, one of Hokkaido's three most famous bridges, is a must-see landmark in Kushiro. Located near the mouth of the Kushiro River, a 10-minute walk from JR Kushiro Station, it's renowned as a prime spot for viewing the world-famous Kushiro sunset. The bridge features four bronze statues representing the seasons and offers picturesque views of the river and surrounding cityscape. While the sunset is a major draw, the bridge's illuminated nighttime scenery and even the misty morning views are equally captivating. Stroll along the wide pedestrian walkways and enjoy the artistic ambiance and refreshing sea breeze. Be sure to check out the "KUSHIRO" monument for a memorable photo opportunity.
