80 Years of Kushiro Shimbun & 50 Years of the 5th-Generation Nusamai Bridge Exhibition

About this event

This exhibition event commemorates the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Kushiro Shimbun and the 50th anniversary of the completion of the 5th-generation Nusamai Bridge. Nusamai Bridge was first erected in 1900, and the current 5th-generation bridge was completed in 1976. As an important transportation route spanning the mouth of the Kushiro River, it supports citizen life and is also cherished as a tourist resource boasting beautiful seasonal views. Its graceful design and sunset views are highly acclaimed both domestically and abroad, and it continues to be loved as a symbol of Kushiro. In this exhibition, commemorative panels are displayed to broadly communicate the history and value of Nusamai Bridge and pass them on to the next generation. The exhibition is held across multiple venues and periods from early to late November, at locations including the Kushiro City Hall Disaster Prevention Building, the Kushiro Regional Joint Government Building, the Kushiro Lifelong Learning Center "Manabotto Nusamai," Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf MOO, and Port Literature Museum (Koubunkan). In addition, special illuminations celebrating the 50th anniversary of the bridge construction will be held at Nusamai Bridge, featuring a special color scheme different from usual to highlight the bridge's beauty.
