Dai Ichi Ikushinagawa Bridge

Roman ruins in the forests of Hokkaido?

Original Text

It is a registered tangible cultural property on the Jnr Nehoku Line, which was scheduled to connect Shari and Nemuro. Also known as the Koshikawa Bridge. Although the bridge pier was built, it was considered to be unnecessary and unurgent construction during the war, and the train did not run at last because the demand for transportation was not expected afterwards. It exposes its remains in the forest like the remains of the Rome water supply.

The bridge was completed in Showa １４, but it was discontinued in Showa ４５. It is just like the Taushubetsu Bridge I visited before.

Bridge buried in the forest

Original Text

I went to June 2019. It is a bridge in the forest along the highway from Shari Town to Nemuro Nakashibetsu Airport. It's not conspicuous and it's in the forest, so if you don't set the navigation system firmly, you will pass by. It is buried in the forest, and it seems that few people stop by.

Negative の Heritage

Original Text

A negative heritage of Hokkaido, which was built after many people died due to forced labor. The feeling of standing quietly is lonely even during the day. There is an unmanned Koshikawa Onsen nearby.
