Hirayama Bridge, spanning the Nakatsu River in Aikawa Town, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a curved-chord Pratt truss steel bridge first constructed in 1913. As a rare surviving example of Taisho-era riveted steel bridge construction, it is registered as a National Tangible Cultural Property and recognized as a Heritage of Modern Civil Engineering in Japan. The bridge also bears bullet scars from a 1945 World War II strafing attack, serving as a poignant war memorial.

Located in Oyama, Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, the Fukuromachi Dam is a gravity-type concrete sabo dam built in 1929 as part of erosion control measures following the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake.
