Kamishihoro, Hokkaido / タウシュベツ川橋梁(旧国鉄士幌線コンクリートアーチ橋梁群)

Taushubetsu River Bridge (Old Shihoro Line Arch Bridges)

Concrete arch bridges of the disused Shihoro railway line around Lake Nukabira, a Hokkaido Heritage; the Taushubetsu bridge appears from around January as the lake begins to freeze, and sinks beneath it by around August, earning the name "phantom bridge".
