A beautiful red arch bridge located about 2 hours west of Tokyo, the Mameyaki soars 491 feet (149.6 mtrs) across a mountain gully on two steel box beam ribs. Like many arch bridges in Japan, Mameyaki is asymmetrical with one side of the arch terminating into the foundation 29.5 feet (9 mtrs) higher than the other side.


東京から西へ2時間ほどの所にある、美しい赤で塗られた豆焼き橋は、二つの鋼箱ビームリブによって、149.6mの全長が山あいの小谷を舞い上がるように架かっています。そして、日本の他の多くのアーチ橋のように、豆焼き橋は一方のアーチが(もう一方の基礎より)9m高い橋の基礎に結合するという非対称的な橋です。
