The depicted structure situated in or visible from public space (e.g. a building, a bridge, an overpass) in  Japan is ineligible for copyright as it is a simple or ordinary work with no architect's artistic properties that would have made it a copyrighted structure. It may also be a work of an engineer (like an infrastructure), not of an architect. In a few countries like North Korea, architecture is not among their copyrightable works, and in a few countries like South Korea and the United States of America, bridges are not among their copyrightable works.

Notes:

• Different jurisdictions have different levels of originality with regards to works of art or architecture: see Threshold of originality for more details.
• In a few countries like France and Thailand, bridges may be among their copyrightable works.

• 

  A building or a bridge is eligible for copyright if it is a true architectural work; images of such buildings or bridges are not allowed on Wikimedia Commons unless there is an applicable freedom of panorama (that allows commercial uses) in the jurisdiction where the building or the bridge is located; see Commons:Freedom of panorama for more details.
• For images of architecture that are in public domain, please use {{PD-old-architecture}}. Refer to its documentation for jurisdiction-specific tags.
