Apologies for the blurry image, I've been trying to identify a location in a relatives photo and this sign appears to be the only hint I have at it. I'm afraid my grasp of written Japanese isn't quite strong enough to understand it though, would anyone here be able to decipher it for me?

  • If your authority as somebody who understands some Chinese characters is on the line, you can tell that you saw 「天大橋」 and then you saw the (c)2015 Google watermark :P

It says:

天大橋{てんだいばし}

昭和{しょうわ}５９年{ねん}１２月竣工{がつしゅんこう}

meaning:

"Tendai Bridge"

"Completed in December, Year 59 of Showa" ← That is 1984.

The bridge seems to be located in the City of Satsuma-Sendai in Kagoshima Prefecture unless there is a bridge with the same name somewhere else.
