Tsuru-no-Maihashi Bridge

鶴の舞橋

Tsuru-no-Maihashi is a wooden bridge over Lake Tsugaru Fujimi in Tsuruta Town. Completed in 1994, it is about 300 m long and is said to be the longest wooden three-arch bridge in Japan. Its gentle curves are a symbol of the town. On calm days, visitors can see Mt. Iwaki reflected in the lake behind the bridge.

Tips for Muslim visitors

  • The bridge is a 300 m wooden arched bridge that you cross on foot.
  • The prefecture's tourism site recommends sunset as the best time to see it.
  • Natural sites may have few facilities. Bring water, a travel prayer mat and a qibla app, and check the weather; mountains and lakes can be much colder than the city.
  • Restrooms for wudu can be far apart on trails. Many Muslim travellers carry a small water bottle for wudu.
  • Plan your visit around prayer times. Below are today's prayer times for Aomori and the verified places to pray nearby.
  • Food stalls and shops near popular sights usually do not have halal certification. Check the ingredients, or choose from the verified places on this site.
