Amarube Bridge and Viaduct "Sky Station", Amarube Crystal Tower

A floating observation deck converted from an old bridge

■Amarube Bridge and Viaduct “Sky Station”

There used to be a massive metal bridge in this location that remained in service for about 100 years. In 2010, it was replaced with a new concrete bridge, but three piers of the old metal bridge were preserved and converted into a floating observation facility known as the “Sky Station.” The station features peepholes offering views below the metal bridge, providing a thrilling experience at a height of 41 meters above ground level, along with panoramic views of the Sea of Japan.

Below the old bridge, a grassy park has been developed and is equipped with rest areas and playground equipment utilizing the remains of the bridge piers.


■Amarube Crystal Tower

An elevator connects the ground level to the observation facility of the Amarube Bridge and Viaduct “Sky Station,” reaching the observation deck in approximately 45 seconds. With its floor-to-ceiling glass facade, visitors can enjoy the breathtaking views of the Sea of Japan while experiencing the sensation of floating at a height of 41 meters. The nighttime illumination, which changes color with the seasons, is also a must-see.
