A Classic Viewing Spot on the Bridge Spanning the Matsukawa River—Capture Commemorative Photos of Hakuba Sanzan
About this spot
A bridge spanning the Matsukawa River that flows through Hakuba Village, renowned for its views of the Hakuba mountain range. The composition capturing the river flow and snow-capped Hakuba Sanzan in a single frame is one of Hakuba's signature landscapes, beloved by many photography enthusiasts. The striking contrast between the white riverbed of snow-melt water and the ridge line rising against the blue sky is breathtakingly beautiful. Since you can easily access it by car, it's a perfect photo stop on your way down from Iwatake.
Tips
Always photograph from the designated walkway. Bring a jacket as wind flows down from the mountain across the bridge. Even on clear days, clouds may cover the summit, so photograph when the mountain looks best.
Best time to visit
Approximately 40 minutes. A clear day with pristine air offers the best photography conditions
