Crossing the Hino River, Yonago
A relatively long standing feature of Yonago is the Old Hino Bridge. Completed in 1929, the bowstring truss bridge was damaged in the 2000 Western Tottori Earthquake and subsequently closed. Recently reopened to pedestrians and cyclists (incl. those motorised?), the bridge’s six arches offer a calmer crossing over the Hino River (日野川); with views of the sea, Mount Daisen and nearby paper factory.

I’m sure you’ve heard about the ghostly “White Car’ that makes the occasional appearence on the darkest of nights…
There used to be a sign with a design of the car on the East side of the river, once you pass over the new bridge, look right. Still there?
Always happy to see photos from my beloved “‘Nog.” Really miss it sometimes…

I going to have to ask/pedal around to get some answers… The weather isn’t so pleasant now. Have the autumn to look forward to. Hope to get some pictures of the momiji around Mt Daisen.
