History
What stands out about this bridge is how its official designation has shifted over time: before it was numbered as National Route 359, it carried Toyama Prefectural Route 7 (Toyama–Yatsuo Line). It later became part of National Route 359, but once the Fuchū Ōhashi bridge was built upstream and took over that role, Arisawa Bridge reverted to its present status as part of Prefectural Route 62.
Access
The bridge is located within Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, spanning the Jinzū River. It is advisable to check surrounding road conditions and public transport details in advance.
Best season
There is no record of a particular best season tied to the bridge itself, so visiting during stable weather to view it alongside the flow of the Jinzū River is a sound choice.
