Description Looking southwest (Yokogawa Bridge) from the west end of the Misasa Bridge (right bank of the Ota River). The area, near the northern end of the area completely destroyed by the atomic bomb and ensuing fire, had a high concentration of small factories and wooden houses, all of which completely burned down. Only a concrete fire cistern and the landmark steel-arched Yokogawa Bridge remained in the burnt ruins. On the left is the Ota River, and the mountains in the distance are in the direction of Koi.
