Sights & Landmarks
Kiyosu-bashi Bridge, spanning the Sumida River, is a stunning sight with its blue-white lights contrasting against the backdrop of TOKYO SKYTREE. This self-anchored chain suspension bridge was built in 1928 and offers an elegant 186-meter-long span connecting Kiyosumi with Nihonbashi-Nakasu. The bridge provides a scenic view of the river, especially at night when it is illuminated.
Strolling around Hamacho area and it’s the spot to stop by if the weather is good.
Chill and relax on the bridge with river view. If you are staying in this area, it’s worth visit but if you need to travel to see the bridge, probably not ;)

I love bridges (bias disclaimer)
The 清洲橋 Kiyosu Bridge (built 1923-1926 after the Great Tōkyō Earthquake) is my favorite bridge crossing the Sumidagawa.
It has beautiful lines and reminds me the most of Taisho/Showa Eras.
Like others, the bridge underwent some cosmetic surgery in 2019 in preparation for the now delayed Olympics.
Alas, when I last visited in Jan. 2020, the face life was not entirely complete and the bridge was not yet lit up at night.
Majestic View! We spent one sleepless night dancing along the sumida river side😂. It was really a memorable one.
It's an elegant bridge if you appreciate the architecture style of Japan modern bridges. They are always mixture of western and Japanese style. You can look at Skytree from far away which is another kind of beauty of Tokyo
Amazing 🤩
Superb view from Sumidagawa terraces
Wonderful view at night , Sumeda river crossing

Kuramae Bridge offers a stunning vantage point to capture the beauty of Tokyo city, especially during sunset with the Tokyo Skytree in view. The pedestrian walkway is well-designed and provides a thoughtful space for leisurely strolls, particularly at night when the bridge is illuminated. It's truly an amazing spot to take in the cityscape and enjoy the ambiance of Tokyo.
If you're a photographer and want an awesome industrial, colorful, symmetrical backdrop for your model... This is it ☝️

Looks great at night.
Dramatic lighting. One of several bridges along the Sumida River that are well lit at night. Can also watch river boats as they transit up and down the river walking along the Sumida River Promenade.
Some homeless camping along the river.
About bridge ratings: Bridges should carry people from one side to the other.
1 Star: No pedestrian access (train bridges excluded)
1-2 Stars: No dedicated pedestrian access, but pedestrians may cross.
2-3 Stars: Dedicated pedestrian access on one side.
3-4 Stars: Dedicated pedestrian access on both sides.
4-5 Stars: Pedestrian exclusive bridge. Motorized vehicles prohibited or excluded.
In each instance, the difference between a lower or higher amount of stars is whether the bridge is visually appealing and/or unique.
One of the bridge in Kuramae area for crossing Sumida River. Passed by during late March and saw a line of Sakura at the end of the bridge.
Wow! Capture a beautiful scenery of Tokyo city on the bridge. Also, see the sunset here with Tokyo skytree.
Thoughtful pedestrian walkway. Wish i had time to stroll in the night when the lights come on
Great view from the bridge
Beautiful at night!
This bridge is amazing

Bridge
Azuma Bridge, dating back to the Edo period, connects Taito Ward and Sumida Ward over the Sumida River. It offers stunning views of notable landmarks such as the golden flame sculpture near Asahi Breweries headquarters and the Sky Tree. Originally built in 1776, it was reconstructed after the Great Kanto Earthquake. During the day, visitors can admire the surrounding area, while at night, it transforms into a beautifully illuminated sight.
Great place to cross the Sumida river, it’s one of the best places to see the Asahi Beer HQ building (“golden poop”) and the SkyTree in one frame. We also found a shrine at the east end related to the great Kanto earthquake.
RC — Google review
This bridge is the location of a view of Tokyo SkyTree in the background, and a temple building in the front.
Nice place to take a picture of Sumida river and Skyfree
Scenic view, especially at night.
The official website says that the Asakusa River Lantern is next to the bridge, but it takes a long way to see it.
Really lly cool experience but the line is over 2h to put your wishes to the water
(Translated by Google) The night view from Azumabashi Bridge in Asakusa is breathtaking no matter how many times you see it, but on this day it was even more special.
The "Toy Story" collaborative illuminations were being held at Tokyo Skytree, and we could get a panoramic view of the event from the bridge.
Six different light displays were switched on and off, each vividly expressing the world of the film. For example, the warm-colored lights inspired by Woody had a warm, gentle glow, as if floating in the night sky. Meanwhile, the Buzz Lightyear lights were futuristic blue and green, capturing the moment he takes off into space. Every time the colors changed, I felt joyful.
Azumabashi Bridge is located just a short walk from Asakusa Station and is characterized by its distinctive red railings over the Sumida River. During the day, the pleasant river breeze is pleasant, and on the opposite bank, the Asahi Beer headquarters building and its golden sculptures tower, creating a unique view. At night, the lights of the Skytree and their reflections on the river create a magical atmosphere.
It's especially photogenic during the illumination period, so you can take impressive shots with either your smartphone or SLR. While there are a lot of people walking around, the area near the center of the bridge and the foot of the bridge on the Asakusa side are relatively relaxed spots to enjoy the view.
It's worth stopping by while sightseeing, and if you time your visit right, you'll be able to fully enjoy this special collaborative illumination. Viewed from Azumabashi Bridge, Skytree looks more like a giant work of art than just an observation deck. This Toy Story collaboration in particular was a heartwarming production that brought smiles to the faces of children and adults alike.
(Original)
浅草の吾妻橋から眺める夜景は、何度見ても息をのむ美しさですが、この日はさらに特別でした。
ちょうど東京スカイツリーで「トイ・ストーリー」のコラボイルミネーションが開催されていて、橋の上からその様子を一望できたのです。
6種類のライトアップが順番に切り替わり、それぞれが映画の世界観を色鮮やかに表現していました。例えば、ウッディをイメージした暖色系のライトは温かみがあり、夜空に浮かぶような優しい輝き。一方、バズ・ライトイヤーのライトアップは未来感あふれるブルーとグリーンで、まるで宇宙に飛び立つ瞬間を切り取ったよう。色が変わるたびに楽しい気分にしてくれました。
吾妻橋は浅草駅からすぐで、隅田川にかかる赤い欄干が特徴的。昼間は川風が心地よく、対岸にはアサヒビール本社ビルや金色のオブジェがそびえ、独特の景観を楽しめますが、夜はスカイツリーのライトと川面に映る光が幻想的なムードを演出します。
イルミネーションの期間中は特に写真映えするので、スマホでも一眼レフでも十分迫力のあるショットが撮れます。人通りは多めですが、橋の中央付近や浅草側のたもとは比較的ゆったり見られるスポット。
観光ついでに立ち寄るだけでも価値がありますし、時間を合わせて訪れれば、この特別なコラボイルミを存分に楽しめます。吾妻橋から見るスカイツリーは、ただの展望台ではなく、まるで一つの巨大なアート作品のよう。特に今回のトイ・ストーリーコラボは、子どもから大人まで笑顔にしてくれる心温まる演出でした。
Very esthetic place with the bean of Ashadi headquarters on the roof which is actually a drop o beer from Philippe Starck. With the Skytower behind it's an iconic point of view of Tokyo.

Rainbow Bridge is a stunning suspension bridge that spans Tokyo Bay, connecting Shibaura Wharf to Daiba. Opened in 1993, it serves as both a transportation route and a beloved landmark for the new Tokyo Bay area. The bridge features vibrant nighttime illumination powered by solar energy and offers a walking route along its 1.7 km length.
The Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo is a stunning architectural marvel and a must-see attraction. Spanning Tokyo Bay, it offers breathtaking views, especially at night when it's beautifully illuminated. Whether you're walking, driving, or taking a boat tour, the bridge provides a unique perspective of the city's skyline. The pedestrian walkways are perfect for a leisurely stroll with picturesque scenes, making it a favorite spot for both locals and tourists. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tokyo!
Pragash Y — Google review
This is definitely something to see the bridge itself looks stunning specially at night when the lights turn on, do keep in mind that if it's not a holiday, the lights will only shine in white or purple. Otherwise, if it's a holiday, it will be a rainbow color. I recommend taking pictures of it or watching it from the Statue of Liberty.
I was staying in Odaiba, and walking across the promenade of the rainbow bridge was an amazing way to get to the Tokyo tower.
The bridge is a great design and is a real focus point of the surrounding area.
It's great to look at it, but if you get the chance, I would definitely recommend walking across.
Beautiful! Walking across was breathtaking both day and night. It fills the senses with awe and gratefulness at both the formidable power of nature as well as man’s attempts and progress at taming it, or “bridging the gap,” as they say haha. I loved walking around this entire area and I feel it’s best explored on foot, alone with your thoughts. If you’re feeling like a stroll to or from Tokyo, definitely recommend checking it out! Would love to come back one day.
The Tokyo skyline featuring Tokyo Tower and the Rainbow Bridge is one of the city’s most iconic and photogenic views. By day, the skyline is a striking mix of modern high-rises, Tokyo Tower’s bold red-and-white structure, and the elegant sweep of the Rainbow Bridge connecting Odaiba to central Tokyo. By night, the scene transforms into a dazzling spectacle — the bridge glows with shifting colors, Tokyo Tower illuminates the skyline in orange light, and the surrounding skyscrapers sparkle, creating a vibrant, almost cinematic atmosphere.
For photographers, Odaiba offers some of the best vantage points, particularly from the waterfront or from the decks of nearby shopping complexes. Long-exposure shots across the bay capture the shimmering reflections on the water and emphasize the dynamic contrast between the stillness of the harbor and the pulsing energy of the city. Sunset is another magical time to shoot, as the fading sky behind Tokyo Tower and the bridge softens the cityscape into rich tones of gold and blue. Wide-angle lenses work well to encompass both landmarks in a single frame, but telephoto shots can isolate the tower, the bridge, or individual high-rises for a more dramatic effect.
The combination of engineering brilliance and urban beauty makes this skyline view one of Tokyo’s must-see experiences. It’s a place where tradition and modernity meet in light, color, and form, offering photographers endless creative possibilities.
Year 2016 the color of the lights of the rainbow bridge is like a rainbow its very beautiful, but my 2nd and 3rd visit is different from now the color isn't a rainbow color but somehow the bridge is still beautiful and amazing view.
Walked along the Rainbow Bridge at sunset and what an amazing experience.
The views are breathtaking.
A must do if you are visiting Tokyo 💕
This bridge offers great power walk exercise with great views of the surrounding area.

Komagata Bridge, a 150-meter-long structure built in 1927, stands out with its distinctive light blue color and one long arch. Named after Komagata-do Hall of the nearby Sensoji Temple, it offers a small terrace in the middle where pedestrians can rest and capture stunning views of TOKYO SKYTREE. This bridge is a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing banquets and festivals along the Sumida River.
Best views of Asakusa can be found under this bridge. Its also much quieter than taking a photo from the central Asakusa area.

A century-old bridge crossing the Sumida River, connecting Sumida and Taitō wards.
At night, a walk along the riverside offers a great view of the bridge with Tokyo Skytree in the background.
Pretty views from the bridge
(Translated by Google) The bridge closest to the center of Asakusa as a tourist destination.
It has a splendid appearance, using even more luxurious stone than Umaya Bridge. There is no shortage of foreign tourists. The area is safe with bright lights, a police box at the foot of the bridge, and security vehicles.

(Translated by Google) This bridge offers a panoramic view of Skytree, Asahi Beer, Sumida River, and Azumabashi Bridge.
It's just a little south of the center of Asakusa, and very close to Asakusa Station on the Toei Asakusa Line. Since most tourists head to Azumabashi, it's relatively uncrowded and you can enjoy the scenery at your own pace!
The bridge itself is stately, and its construction gives you a sense of post-Meiji Tokyo.
It's a wonderful bridge that shows different views at different times of the day!
There are also many wonderful shops on the Sumida Ward side of the bridge, so we recommend you take a stroll around there as well!

スカイツリーとアサヒビール、隅田川、吾妻橋を全て一望できる橋です。
浅草の中心からほんの少し南、都営浅草線の浅草駅のすぐ近く。観光客のみなさんは吾妻橋に行ってしまうので、比較的混まずに、ゆっくり景色を楽しめるのもポイントです！
橋自体も重厚で、明治以降の東京を感じられる造りです。
時間ごとに様々な景色を見せてくれる、とても素敵な橋です！
橋の墨田区側も素敵なお店がたくさんあるので、ぜひそちらも散策してほしい所です！
(Translated by Google) Komagata Bridge is one of Asakusa's symbols, a charming bridge spanning the Sumida River. It's especially lit up at night, with the lights reflecting off the river's surface creating a truly magical scene. It felt like I was a little removed from the hustle and bustle around me, and spending a relaxing time watching the river flow was wonderful. Taking a break on the bridge and enjoying the breeze after a tiring day of sightseeing is a relaxing experience, even in the middle of the city.
Asakusa and Skytree are nearby, making it a great place to stop by on a stroll. During the day, it's bustling with tourists and locals, but at night the atmosphere takes on a much more tranquil setting, perfect for a date or a solo stroll.

駒形橋は、浅草のシンボル的な存在のひとつで、隅田川にかかる風情ある橋です。特に夜はライトアップされていて、川面に光が映り込む景色はとても幻想的。周囲の喧騒から少し離れたような感覚になり、川の流れを眺めながらゆったりと過ごす時間は最高でした。観光で歩き疲れた後に橋の上で風に当たりながら休憩すると、都会の中にいながらもリラックスできる瞬間を感じられます。
近くには浅草やスカイツリーがあり、散策の途中にふらっと立ち寄れる立地の良さも魅力。昼間は観光客や地元の人たちが多く行き交いますが、夜になるとぐっと落ち着いた雰囲気に変わり、デートやひとり散歩にもぴったりです。
Nice place to take photo of Tokyo Sky Tree and Asahi Building
(Translated by Google) A bridge across the Sumida River from Asakusa. I started my stroll along the Sumida River from Komagata Bridge. It's a truly beautiful and refreshing bridge. At the west end of the bridge, you'll see the Mihashira (pillar) object and stone monument, as well as the skyscrapers and flames of the Asahi Building's Olympic cauldron in the distance, and now the Skytree. The bridge's name is said to come from the horse-shaped topography and the shrine (Komagata Shrine) dedicated to horses. It was also once called Komakata, a pure pronunciation, as a remnant of the past.

Shin-ohashi Bridge, also known as Eshima Ohashi Bridge, is a remarkable rigid-frame bridge that stretches across Nakaumi Lake in the southwestern part of Honshu. It holds the title of being the largest bridge of its kind in Japan and ranks as the third-largest rigid-frame bridge globally, boasting a total length of 1.7 kilometers (1.1 miles).
Iconic bridge in the area. At night, it lights up and shines in orange. Sometimes you may find cats on the walkway under the bridge!

Stunning views from the bridge. There's also a nice seating corner on the bridge which is kind of unique. Go there with a cup of coffee maybe and enjoy the gentle breeze along with the river view.
新大橋 Shin Ōhashi [New Great Bridge] (built 1976-1977). Attractively illuminated at night.
The green and gold makes me expect to find a leprechaun at the end of the span.
Great structure - we walked along the side of the river which was fascinating, clean and educational !!
(Translated by Google) April temperature 10-24 degrees. The wind blows cool. Pollution pm2.5 around 50-90 It's about the same as Don Mueang in the rainy season, but cool and comfortable. Close to the sea, the wind blows all the time. The water is murky, black, not clear, not blue. It is the city's waste water that flows into various rivers. There are a lot of people, but I feel that the rivers and canals in Seoul are much clearer than the rivers in Tokyo. But Tokyo's garbage is less than Seoul.

(Translated by Google) The vibrant orange color of Shin Ohashi Bridge makes it a sight to behold as one of the suspension bridges that adds color to the Sumida River scenery. The famous copperplate engraving is also a joy to behold.
The floor used to have uneven surfaces, which caused many bicycles to tip over. The uneven surfaces have now been filled in and replaced with a slope, but it's still a mystery why they chose a design that would cause such unnecessary trouble.

Bridge
Umaya Bridge, located along the Sumida River in Tokyo, stands out with its distinctive triple arches and horse statues adorning its length. During the Edo period, it was situated near a stable used for transporting rice to the government. The bridge's name 'Umaya' translates to 'horse stable' in Japanese, paying homage to its historical significance.
Bridge for cars and pedestrians. Pedestrian walkway on both sides of the bridge, wide enough for bikes and wheelchairs 👨🦼🚴♀️
The bride itself is a really pretty shade of green with a mesmerizing amount of rivets. It also has really cool details like stain glass artwork
Kevin K — Google review
A lovely bridge, especially at night. The bridge is named after the horse stables that used to be here during the edo period (used to pull the rice bags from the warehouses - hence the area name of Kuramae)
Especially on rainy nights, the winds can be strong. Other than that, it is a nice looking bridge.
Walkway for pedestrians as well
(Translated by Google) A stately arch bridge.
The stately structure made with abundant use of stone and steel plates is not seen in modern times.
The stained glass installed high up and the columns made of bent steel sheets with exposed rivets give you a sense of the era.
There is a pier at the foot of the bridge, and houseboats come and go. It forms a typical Tokyo landscape that still conveys the atmosphere of Edo.

Hamarikyu Gardens is a public park located on the site of a 17th-century Shogun villa, featuring an Edo-period style layout with a pond. Situated along the Sumida River, visitors can enjoy views of Tokyo Skytree from nearby Sumida Park and take a short walk or cruise to Hamarikyu Garden and Odaiba Island. This garden was meticulously designed over time by successive shoguns, drawing seawater from Tokyo Bay.
Great park, right next to the seawater. In fact the ponds inside are full with sea water drawn directly from the bay area.
You can enjoy the piece and awesome trees and plans for a nice walk.
Don’t miss it out if you enjoy a small escapes from the urban area, I will define it as a green paradise in the middle of sky skyscrapers.
Plus you can find some pretty cool stamps on the entrance

One of my favourite gardens in Tokyo, we visited it during a non-busy period of the year. It was delightful. Enjoy your matcha at the tea house facing the pond.
What a splendid place to spend the afternoon! Strolling the grounds, exploring every nook and cranny. I spent a few hours here one spring afternoon after eating a great omakase lunch. This was the perfect place to burn off some extra calories, wandering the paths. It was an equally enjoyable place to enjoy a nice little siesta underneath one of the many trees that provide shade in this beautiful park. If you’re into green spaces, I highly recommend a visit! Can’t wait to come back 🤗
Beautiful traditional gardens that used to be the falcon hunting grounds of the Shogun. Compared to Shinjuku Gardens, Hamariku has more beautiful water features, including bridges and a tea shop over water. There's something to see in every season - plum blossoms in February, cherry blossoms in March, wisteria in April, as well as a season flower garden planted with rotating varieties year round. The garden also hosts seasonal and cultural celebrations. The garden tends to be quiet most days (certainly compared to Shinjuku Gardens). The open picnic areas are recommended for families with kids looking for a place to run around in the grass.
Lovely gardens by the water. You can tell it’s being taken care of and the admission fee is definitely worth paying (300¥ per person). There are many benches you can sit on, paths you can walk on, lovely bridges across ponds and some traditional tea houses offering matcha and sweets🍵 It feels so calm and is the perfect place to escape rushed Tokyo, in Tokyo🧚
For such a relatively small park, it has pretty much everything that makes up a good park. Ponds, small islands with bridges, meadows, woods, and flowers. A wonderful place.
An amazing tranquil location within the city of Tokyo. Next to the sea so often has sea vessels blowing across it. The ancient gardens are kept in amazing condition. Well worth a walk around. It was 36 Delicious when we visited and we enjoyed the quiet and peace it gave us. It was fantastic in July. I imagine it is great throughout the year. Do visit if you have time. Saw many butterflies there.
A beautiful place! We saw so many big butterflies in the flower fields!
It's peaceful and quite.
It's really something to do when you're in Tokyo

Sumida River, a significant location in Japanese history and popular culture, is home to the annual Sumida River Fireworks Festival. This event has its roots in the Water God Festival dating back to 1733, originally held to honor those who perished from famine and plague. The river was historically used for transporting goods during the Edo period and remains a popular tourist destination today.
Sitting by the river at night was such a peaceful experience 🌙 The views are breathtaking, especially with the cityscape in the background.
It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely walk, or, honestly, any kind of relaxing activity. Whether you're looking to unwind or capture some beautiful photos, the Sumida River is a must-visit.
Patricia C — Google review
Day or night, sunny or rainy, the view is gorgeous!
We highly recommend allotting two days and two nights to be able to explore the entirety of this very long walkway and see different sights of the cherry blossoms and Tokyo Skytree.
Breathing in some fresh air and watching boats pass by while taking a stroll is so relaxing. We would love to come back here.
Tip:
Lanterns light up from 6:30pm to 9pm. It's worth enduring the cold for the spectacular night scenery.
A short walk from Sensoji temple is another city attraction, the Sumida Park River Gallery a scenic urban oasis along the Sumida River. This place offers both locals and tourists an escape from the city’s busy pace with a mind blowing unique refreshments. The park is renowned for its beautiful cherry blossoms in spring, which transform the riverside walkways into a soft, pink landscape that’s perfect for flower viewing (hanami). Alongside the natural beauty, the park also a river cruise to enjoy the landmarks in a different perspective. This river part features curated art installations and structures, creating a unique blend of nature and urban culture.
The "River Gallery" concept allows visitors to engage with art while enjoying the park's serene environment. The views of the Tokyo Skytree are breathtaking, especially at sunset when the city’s lights begin to reflect on the water. Besides its aesthetics, the park has been designed thoughtfully with seating areas, clean pathways, and small open-air cafes, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and social gatherings.
Overall, Sumida Park River Gallery is an excellent blend of nature, art, and urban design, offering a peaceful retreat with a cultural edge in the heart of Tokyo. Spare some time here to experience the uniqueness of the japanese way of life
Pretty river views at night and quiet. Nice background views of Asahi HQ and Tokyo Skytree.
Spent our last day in Tokyo walking along the Sumida river. Was great to relax and take in a less crowded aspect of Tokyo. Taking a leisurely walk through the park areas along the river and observing the local people going about their day was a treat. It was obvious that there were things in place in preparation for upcoming Cherry Blossom season and we were lucky enough to get a small glimpse into their beauty.
Amazing views, very quiet area at night and it was breathtaking!!!
Really nice place to walking and jogging along side the river. There are benches to relax and enjoy the brezee air.
The location is near from the Sumida Park, Tokyo Skytree, some train stations, and Asakusa area. You need to walk across the bridge and view the wonderful and amazing scenery.
Wonderful place to walk in Asakusa. Early morning walks are nice but the place really lights up (pun intended) at night. If you ever have any reason to stay in Asakusa, this river has to be one of the main ones.

Nijubashi Bridge, located at the entrance of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, is a stunning symbol of Japan’s imperial heritage. The bridge’s elegant arches, reflected in the calm waters below, create a picturesque and tranquil scene that draws visitors year-round.
Although the inner palace grounds are not open to the public, the view from outside is breathtaking, especially during cherry blossom season. It’s a must-visit for history enthusiasts and photographers looking to capture the beauty of Japan’s imperial architecture.

We visited here after walking through the park near the Imperial Palace. The Nijubashi Bridge is visually stunning. I could have stood here all-day taking photos.
Visiting Nijūbashi Bridge in Tokyo is like stepping into a postcard! 📸✨ Located at the main entrance of the Imperial Palace, this iconic “Double Bridge” offers a stunning blend of history and beauty. The reflection of its elegant arches in the surrounding moat creates a picture-perfect scene. While the bridge itself is usually closed to the public, you can admire its grandeur from the nearby plaza. If you’re in Tokyo, don’t miss the chance to see this charming landmark! 🏯🌉

Beautiful view. It was one of the first things I saw when I visited Japan, and I still find it beautiful. You can also enjoy the view of the city from the palace when you visit the inperial palace.
Visited the bridge twice, during the day and in the evening. In the evenings the place is not very well lit. The bridge is a small but beautiful. It looks like human eyes, The original bridge was made out of wood, but replaced with steel. Liked the bridge and the surrounding areas.
Having been here before, I knew that in reality there's no Palace to see - but I do enjoy the grounds & the contrast between old and new.
It was a lovely sunny day when we visited, so that added to the enjoyment. It's simply a nice place to walk around.
A very beautiful spot for taking photos. Unfortunately the castle was closed when we were in Tokyo, so we could not see it from inside.

The Tokyo Gate Bridge, completed in 2011, links the eastern part of Tokyo's Koto Ward to the central Shingawa area. It has become a significant landmark and offers stunning views of Mount Fuji from the nearby Wakasu Koen Park. The bridge's unique design has earned it the nickname 'Dinosaur Bridge' due to its resemblance to facing dinosaurs and is a popular spot for night view enthusiasts. With a length of 2,618 meters and a maximum height of 87.
This is an insider tip. Usually I don’t post insider tips. (I guess I’m to stingy) But this one is only for the people good on feet. Walking this bridge is an unique experience.

The views during the sunset is stunning
Also known as the dinasour bridge as it looks like two T-Rex facing each other.
It is connecting the islands of odaiba to the eastern part of tokyo and it is national road, no toll.
there is walking passage on the bridge but the height could be as high as 63 metres.
access could be found under the bridge by the wakasu park.
I like this bridge because it's not crowded when I drive my car.
This beautiful dinosaur shaped bridge offers the best view of Tokyo skyline,Mt Fuji(if it is clear),Haneda airport and the Tokyo bay…The sunset time is the best.
Sick view
Good atmosphere.

Eitai Bridge, located between Eitai and Shinkawa, spans the Sumida River and has a rich history dating back to the 1690s. The original wooden bridge was celebrated in ukiyo-e woodblock prints by Utagawa Hiroshige. Rebuilt multiple times, it now stands as an iconic iron bridge that is strikingly lit at night.
I love bridges (bias disclaimer).
I have a web page on my site dedicated to the Bridges of the Sumida River.
The 永代橋 Eitai Bridge (rebuilt 1923-1926 after the Great Tōkyō Earthquake) has had a number of incarnations with associated histories. A catastrophic collapse in 1807 on a popular shrine festival day resulted in great loss of life.
The rebuilt bridge was later renewed in 1897 becoming the first iron bridge in Japan.
It is strikingly lit at night.
The East end of the bridge is just a short walk from the Tomioka Hachiman Shrine which has monuments to the greats of Grand Sumo Wrestling.

This is a historic bridge located near Monzen-Nakacho Station on the east side of Tokyo Station. Try visiting in the evening when it is lit up. The bridge itself is beautiful, and you can see the illuminated Tokyo Skytree and Tsukishima Hightower Condo. It's beautiful.
Glorious bridge which has its origin way over 300 years ago.
Worth to visit it at night. Very romantic and relaxing
nice view. did see some graffiti.
Best seen from another bridge.
Pretty bridge, looks better at night.
The beautiful view from Eitaibashi bridge to Ichikawajima park in the morning time.

The Great Kanto Earthquake Memorial Museum, also known as Fukko Kinenkan, is located in Yokoamicho Park in Tokyo's Ryogoku district. The museum showcases the remains of the devastating 1923 earthquake and exhibits items that illustrate the aid provided by foreign countries to help Tokyo recover from the disaster. The museum consists of two floors, with the first floor focusing on the earthquake and the second floor dedicated to World War II air raids.
Not a commonly visited place but it is a very important part of Tokyo history. An incredibly somber place due to the massive loss of life at this site with a beautiful shrine and pagoda dedicated to those that lost their lives. This is an amazing place if you are a fan of history. Focuses on the Kanto Earthquake and the Tokyo firebombing during WWII. I was the only foreigner at the exhibit but the museum host was very excited to see a tourist. You can pay your respects inside the shrine and inside there are some paintings that are quite shocking in the portrayal of the events. Reverence is required though as the subject matter is highly important and representative of great national tragedies.

Fantastic museum, so much history and tragedy within these walls, they have two floors, one focusing on the Great Kanto Earthquake and the second on the air raids on Tokyo during WW2. The collection and exhibits are very good, a lot of English signage too and prepare to be very emotional. The staff were superb and the whole area is beautiful. It is also free entry, I wish more people went there to learn about the history of Tokyo and the tragedy it suffered and conquered, it was almost empty when we went, except for 2-3 other Japanese people there.
This place is free to visit which is rare in Tokyo, but even if they charged, I would still come. To see the devastation caused by two events, one human (WW2 bombing) and one by nature (Earthquake) is an emotional experience. You should combine this with a visit to the Memorial Hall to watch the video of these events; first time I've cried since my visit to Auschwitz years ago.
The first floor deals with the earthquake whilst the second floor with the anihilation of the city from bombing.
A free booklet with English translation gives a brief account of Japan's involvement in WW2 and the Great Tokyo Air Raid on 10th March 1945 when over 300 US B29 bombers created such destruction.
Beautiful memorial to visit. You learn many things about this horrible moment in the history of Japan.
There is a lot of information and pictures. The most important ones have signs in English, so you can read what you are looking at.
You can get two books (in Japanese or English) with more information about what you see in the museum.
Each book is 100 yen, so it is super cheap.
Entrance is free.
Nice but small museum about the big Kanto earthquake. Impressive photos, and even more on the interesting screen with map. Is on the small side (with Second World War things on the second floor), but it’s recommended to check it out to get a sense of the devastation that took place a hundred years ago in Tokyo. Emotional but educative.
We were very pleasantly surprised by this small museum. Very interesting and captivating information. Unfortunately a lot of stuff wasn't translated, but with Google translate we managed and had a decent experience. There are 2 floors, bottom one dedicated to the Great Kanto Earthquake and the upper one about Second World war. It took us about 1 hour to check it all out (we didn't have more time).
Ah and the entry is free!
Really great free museum about the Earthquake happened in 1923 in Tokyo.
A lot of information, photos and archive to explain what happened and how Japan recovered from it.
There's also information about the damage due to the war.
The Great Kanto Earthquake Memorial Museum is a museum that shows the history of the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II air raids.

Amazing cruise! It was nice to do something low stress and scenic. Living in Japan, most have done or don't want to do the crazy tourist things. This was beautifully low key with delicious food, great service, and amazing views

Great place to catch a boat ride to Diver city complex or the Sensoji temple as the exits are with minutes of the attraction. It's also great to just be on the water for the breeze instead of the subways. It's fairly cheap to ride and my Air BNB was literally minutes away.
This is where symphony tours is located. The pier also has a cute Lawson that blends beautifully with the area.
Scenic route to the Odaiba island. Nice cruise in the summertime. Not too expensive. Worthwhile to take eitherway.
About 10 minutes by foot from Hinode Station the Hinode Terminal is clean and organized. There is a machine inside from which you can purchase water bus/taxi tickets to sever areas from Odaiba up the Sumida River to Asakusa. My friends and I took the train to Hinode and caught the water taxi to Asakusa. A short walk from the pier and you arrive at Sensou-ji Temple. Lots to see here including Nakamise Street for gift shopping, the nearby pagoda, and the main Temple building. From there we took a short subway ride under the river to see Tokyo Skytree.
We made an online reservation for the 16:15 boat to Odaiba, perfect time to see the sunset from the boat ! I really recommand doing this little boat trip, it was very nice and an interesting way to discover Tokyo. Next time I will do the whole trip from Asakusa to Odaiba.
A fun way to travel to Odaiba is by one of the various cruise boats available. You can also buy several different cruises at the counter.
Was there with a tour group getting a boat to Asakusa so didn't have much chance to try the amenities, the pier staff were organized and polite but it was cold waiting outside on a rainy day

Ōgibashi Watergate is a remarkable engineering feat that bridges the gap between the east and west sides of the Onagi River, facilitating navigation for both ships and kayaks. Completed in 2007, this lock was essential in overcoming significant water level differences—up to 3.1 meters—between various rivers including Arakawa, Kyu-Nakagawa, Onagi, and Sumida.
(Translated by Google) It is a system called a lock system, which is the same as the Panama Canal, and controls the water level between two locks to allow ships to operate between rivers with different water levels. I wasn't able to see it up close as it is currently undergoing seismic construction (until autumn), but I hope to see it actually controlling the water level someday. I would also like to pass by by boat!
(Original)
パナマ運河と同じ方式で、2枚の水門の間の水位を制御して、水位の異なる河川間で船を運行させる、閘門式と呼ばれるシステムです。現在は耐震工事中（秋まで）ということで近くで見れませんでしたが、実際に水位を制御しているのをいつか見学できればと思っています。そして船でも通過してみたい！
よもとと — Google review
Like other people said it is just a water gate. Move along nothing to see here.
It's a water gate. Nothing to see here unless you are in a boat. Entered with a kayak. Worked as expected.
(Translated by Google) In downtown Panama, the water level of the river is different on the west and east sides of this facility, so the water level is adjusted at this facility to allow ships to pass. You can see something out of the ordinary, but you won't know what kind of facility it is until the ship comes. You can pass the promenade on the Ogibashi side (south side), but the north side goes all the way to the adjacent park.
(Original)
下町のパナマ、この施設を挟んで西側と東側は川の水位が違うため、この施設で水位調整して船を通過させています。非日常が見れますが、船が来ないとどんな施設か分からない。遊歩道は扇橋側（南側）は通過出来るが北側は隣接公園迄。
(Translated by Google) This is Ogibashi Lock over the Onagi River.
---
Ogibashi Lock is located almost in the center of the Onagi River, which flows east to west through the Koto Triangle.
This facility can be described as a "mini Panama Canal," allowing ships to pass through rivers with different water levels. It does so by artificially changing the water level in the lock chamber, which is sandwiched between two locks (front and rear gates).
(Original)
小名木川に掛かる扇橋閘門です。
---
扇橋閘門は、江東三角地帯を東西に流れる小名木川（おなぎがわ）のほぼ中央に位置しています。
水位が異なる河川を通航可能にした『ミニパナマ運河』と言える施設で、2つの水門（前扉及び後扉）に挟まれた閘室（こうしつ）と呼ばれる水路の水位を人工的に変動させることにより、船の通航を可能にしています。
(Translated by Google) A water level control facility on the Onagigawa River.
Located between the Sumida River and the Onagi River, it adjusts the water level difference between the two rivers, making it possible for ships to move between the Onagi and Sumida rivers, which flow through low-lying areas.
Similarly, there is the "Arakawa Lock Gate" on the way to Arakawa, and it is also possible to travel from Sumida River to Arakawa via this.
Together, they are important facilities that protect the zero-meter zone in the downtown area.
There is no toll for small vessels, and recently it has been popularly used by canoes and sea kayaks.
In such cases, the kayak must be held firmly on the mooring line to prevent it from being swept away by the currents that occur when adjusting the water level.
Information is as of November 2022

小名木川にある水位調節施設。
隅田川と小名木川の間にあり両河川間の水位差を調節して、低海抜地帯を流れる小名木川と隅田川の船舶移動を可能にしています。
同様に荒川方向に抜ける途中には「荒川ロックゲート」があり、これを介して隅田川から荒川への移動も可能となっています。
両方あわせて下町のゼロメートル地帯を守る大事な施設です。
通行料は小型船舶は無料となっており、最近ではカヌーやシーカヤックでの利用も多いといいます。
その際は水位調節時に起きる水流に流されぬよう、係留索にしっかりつかまってカヤックを固定するそうです。

(Translated by Google) The water level of the Sumida River is about 3 meters lower than the Arakawa River, so in order to cross it by boat, you must pass through two lock gates.
One of them is Ogibashi Lock Gate. Behind the powerful truss bridge (Komatsu Bridge), on the left side, is the entrance to the lock.
The area between the two gates is called the lock chamber, and the water level inside the lock chamber is raised/lowered. There is no need to use a separate pump to raise or lower the water level; simply open one gate and water will flow in and out naturally, so the water level will eventually match. This is the result of renewable energy. With this gate, it takes about 20 minutes for the water levels to match.
By the way, England has many small canals and many locks, and the small locks are made of wood and can be operated manually.

隅田川の水位は荒川より３ｍほど低いので、船で横断するためには２箇所の閘門（ロックゲート）を通過します。
その一つが、扇橋閘門。力強いトラス橋（小松橋）の奥、左側にあるのが、閘門の出入口です。
２つのゲートに挟まれた部分を閘室と呼び、閘室内の水位を上昇/下降させます。水位の上昇/下降は、別にポンプを使う必要はなく、一方のゲートを開けば自然に水が流入/流出するので、そのうち水位が一致します。再生可能エネルギーの賜物ですね。このゲートの場合、水位が一致するまでに20分ほどを要します。
ちなみに、イギリスには小さな運河が多く、閘門もたくさんありますが、小規模な閘門は木製で、手動で操作できたりします。
(Translated by Google) The gates will be open to ship traffic.
Since the ground on the east side is low and the west side is high, it was built to keep the water level constant and allow ships to navigate.

High speed boat to Toyosu is very convenient, comfortable and reasonably priced.
(Translated by Google) I've been interested in it for a while and was looking for an opportunity to make a same-day reservation on a sunny day. Although the forecast was for intense heat in July, I took the plunge and booked a 13:00 Kanda River cruise (90 minutes). On the day of departure, we completed registration and payment 20 minutes before departure, boarded the ship 10 minutes early in the order of reservations, and were free to choose seats. The guide's explanations were detailed and the experience of seeing the bridges and buildings from the river was amazing. However, shortly after leaving Nihonbashi, the Shuto Expressway moves away from the river and is exposed to direct sunlight. The ship has toilets, ice cubes, and straw hats, but drinking water and sunscreen are essential. Please note that parasols are not allowed.

The route took us through Akihabara, Asakusabashi, Ryogoku Bridge, the Sumida River, and then back to Nihonbashi.For a weekday, there were more than a dozen participants.
In Nihonbashi, construction is currently underway to turn the expressway that crosses over the bridge underground, and it is said that it will be possible to see Nihonbashi without a roof in 2040.

Sakurabashi Bridge is a unique pedestrian bridge that crosses the River Sumida, connecting Sumida City and Taito City. Its distinctive x-shaped design was created with the intention of facilitating encounters between people from different points on both sides of the river. During spring, visitors can enjoy stunning views of cherry blossoms adorning the riverbanks.
Sakura-bashi (桜 橋) is Sumida River’s only pedestrian bridge and connects both sides (Taito and Sumida wards) of Sumida Park, a popular spot for viewing cherry blossoms. The construction of the 169.45-meter long and 6-meter wide bridge began in 1980 and was completed in 1985. It is located near Tokyo Skytree, the world’s tallest tower at 634 meters.

Cool pedestrian bridge over the Sumida River. Tokyo Skytree is close nearby
Very beautiful during night, almost nobody here. Totally cozy, calm and clean.
Take ur time and enjoy this great opportunity
A good spot to take a photo of Tokyo Skytree.
We visited this area after spending time at Tokyo Skytree and found it to be a great spot to view the tower from a distance, especially along the Sumida River. The river provides a peaceful walking route, and the views are quite scenic.
Our visit was in July, around 5–6 PM, and surprisingly, it wasn’t too hot—perfect for a relaxed evening stroll. However, note that there were no cherry blossoms in bloom during this season, and parts of the riverside walkway near the sports center were under construction and in need of some maintenance.
I highly recommend visiting around sunset or after dark. When the Skytree is fully lit, its reflection on the river creates a stunning nighttime view that’s well worth seeing.
It's just a bridge yes, but it's a nice one. It's famous because it's the only pedestrian bridge that crosses the Sumida River and has the shape of an X. You can Mike nice photos with the crane sculptures and the skytree in the background. It is also light up in the dark what gives it a romantic look
Good view. You can see Tokyo Sky-Tree.
Cool bridge along a long path great for a jog in the rain.

Urban legend has it that shouting out your love at the center of this bridge will make your love come true.

This bridge is rare (unique?) as it spans the intersection of two through waterways. Some of the waterways are former moats or canals.
小名木川クローバー橋 The Onakigawa Clover Bridge (for pedestrians and bicyclists) joins the corners of the intersection of the (East West) 小名木川 Onagi River and the (North South) 橫十間川 Yokojikken River. It opened in December 1994.
The hiragana plaque on the bridge indicates the name 'Onagi', NOT 'Konagi'.
While bridges over the Yokojikken River are closely spaced, the frequency of bridges over the Onagi River is more sparce. Closest bridges: it is about a quarter mile to the 小名木川橋 Onagi River Bridge to the West and a third of a mile to the 進開橋 Shinkaihashi Bridge to the East.
To the North, it is only 500 feet to the 大島橋 Oshima Bridge over the Yokojikken River. Barely 200 feet South is a plaza and park built over the river.

Park
Sumida River Terrace is a picturesque spot along the eastern side of central Tokyo, offering promenades on both shorelines for various activities like running, jogging, walking the dog, and leisurely strolls. The area provides great opportunities for photo shoots with its stunning views of bridges and high-rise towers. It's an ideal location for long-exposure nightscape photography. The lively public space isn't overly crowded, making it perfect for traversing the course easily.
A beautiful place to get away from the bustle in Tokyo. There are a few historical sites to see and has some good fishing spots used by locals.

Nice lookout on Sumida River and steps to the river bank path walk. All accessible on foot.
A very pleasant place for a stroll along the river. There are various plaques along the walkway giving information about Tokyo history. Quite popular with runners. Not busy when we were there, but may get busier when the weather is less oppressive.
Great views and walking along the river
A nice walk along the Sumida River. Comfortable stroll. Lots of interpretive displays to learn about the history of the area.
Fantastic course for running. I'd say it's almost perfect, you've got gorgeous view, lively public space that isn't that crowded enough so you can traverse the course relatively easily. Would be hitting a home run for me if the course is more continuous. The terrace is interrupted in some places due to the presence of numerous canals and flood gates, although thankfully at a few certain spots such as Tsukishima and near Sumida Ohashi bridge new pedestrian bridges have been built in front of these flood gates.
Sumida River, which runs along the eastern side of central Tokyo and empties in the Tokyo Bay, is lined with promenades on both shorelines providing great locations for running, jogging, walking the dog, leisurely strolls, and photo shoots.
the promenades offer many locations where you can set up a tripod for some long-exposure nightscape photography of bridges and high-rise towers.
I really love this place. Highly recommended stroll from Asakusa to Tsukiji. In this way there are 2 fav spots to me: the Kiyosumi Garden and an original tonkatsu ramen restuarant (u could see it through my reviews)

Bridge
Shirahige Bridge, an iconic arched bridge built in the 1930s, spans the Sumida River and offers stunning views of Tokyo Skytree. It has become a popular spot for watching fireworks from nearby venues. The 168-meter-long bridge is beautifully illuminated at night, adding to its allure as a new night view spot.
Shirahige bridge, mean the Bridge of white beard. (Not sure why the choose that name).
It a bridge in Sumida River that connect Taitoku, Arakawa & Sumida. I think i was build after the big earthquake of Tokyo 1920 ~ 1930.
It is a great places to watch lights of Tokyo Sky tree, also in summer there fireworks and in sunset can be really nice to walk around the bridge and park.

白鬚橋 Shirahige Bridge (built 1928-1931) over the Sumida River. The bridge has recently been refurbished.
Nice view
(Translated by Google) This bridge is built over the Sumida River, near Shirahige Shrine.
As its name suggests, the white-painted arch bridge looks like a dinosaur's ribs when you look up as you walk across it. The street lights have a Meiji and Taisho era feel to them.
When viewed from afar, it is brightly lit up and beautiful. It's a bridge that is great to walk on or look at.

(Translated by Google) An interestingly constructed bridge over the Sumida River in the Sumida district. The bridge is illuminated at night by bright white spotlights. A bit too bright, resulting in overexposed photos, and the bridges are large, yet numerous. Nevertheless, with a little skill and the search for a good composition, a harmonious shot can be achieved, even with the Skytree in the background. The bridge can be walked on both sides.
(Original)
Eine interessant gebaute Brücke über den Sumida Fluss im Stadtteil Sumida. Die Brücke wird nachts von grellen Weisslicht-Scheinwerfern erhellt. Etwas zu hell. Das führt zu Überbelichteten Fotos und die Süitzlochter sind groß indes sind viele. Dennoch lässt sich mit etwas Geschick und der Suche nach einer ordentlichen Bildkomposition eine stimmige Aufnahme machen, auch mit dem Skytree im Hintergrund. Die Brücke kann auf beiden Seiten zu Fuß begangen werden.
(Translated by Google) Until 1968, the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation's trackless train (trolley bus) ran on this bridge, and although it is now a road bridge, it was also a rail bridge. I think it is the most beautiful iron bridge over the Sumida River.

Chuo City Office is conveniently located next to exit 1 of Shintomicho Station on the Yurakucho Line. It offers various services for residents, including procedures for becoming a ward resident and childcare-related matters. The office is easily accessible with a parking lot available for visitors. Additionally, it provides assistance with personal information issues and measures against infectious diseases.

Excellent service even if you don’t speak Japanese. Staff is helpful and will help you if you have any questions. Great!

Great experience! Compared to other city offices, it was incredibly fast (my number was called in less than 5 minutes) and many of their staff knows some English to help you through. Thanks for everything!
Every time I've gone they've been so incredibly friendly and helpful. I feel very fortunate that this was my first experience with a Japan city hall.
Great service, next to metro exit, has a library attached ... overall, excellent place

(Translated by Google) The Chuo Ward Office building was completed in 1969, making it over 50 years old.
The exterior has dark brown tiles, which was rare at the time, and was designed by Takeo Sato, who designed many city hall buildings.
The Shuto Expressway runs right in front of us, but in the past there used to be a river called the Tsukiji River, and the Miyoshi Bridge that spans it is a three-pronged bridge that is extremely rare in Tokyo, and was built as part of the reconstruction project after the Great Kanto Earthquake. It has become a bridge.
The interior of the ward office building feels quite old, and although the lobby on the first floor is open with an atrium extending all the way to the second floor, the other floors are narrow and have low ceilings, making it feel stuffy.
It seems that there is talk of rebuilding the building, but the discussion is continuing as no consensus has been reached regarding issues such as site issues and costs.

I have been a resident of Chuo Ward for a long time, but I have never had any particular complaints about the response. Regarding childcare-related procedures, there were times when the person I talked to said different things, but it was not a particularly big problem.
During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, I was visiting the Chuo Ward Office for some formalities and was chatting with the staff when a large tremor occurred.
I remember laughing and saying, "That's quite a big tremor," and then the tremendous tremor continued for a long time, and after that, it turned out to be a joke.
It has probably undergone many repairs since then, but its appearance, which has not changed since then, gives me a feeling of wonder that is different from nostalgia every time I pass by.

Kototoi Bridge is a picturesque spot in Tokyo, offering stunning views of the Tokyo Skytree and the Asahi Beer Headquarters building. It's a great place to catch a beautiful sunset while enjoying some coffee, sweets, snacks, or sandwiches at a nearby cafe. The bridge also holds historical significance as it was the site where 1,000 people lost their lives during the Great Tokyo Air Raid in 1945.

(Translated by Google) The bridge's name comes from a line in Ariwara no Narihira's poem: "When I speak, I will speak to you, Miyakodori..." There are many places in the vicinity that are associated with Narihira. Narihira Bridge and Nanzoin Temple, now located in Kanamachi, both originated from Narihira's sutra mound, which was originally located here. There used to be an ant town on the west side of the bridge, which became the origin of the Shiomi Bataya settlement. Today, the bridge is a great place for running, with Sumida Park stretching out on both sides.

Senju Ōhashi Bridge, a historic and significant structure in Tokyo, was the first bridge built by Tokugawa Ieyasu after entering Edo in 1594. It crosses the Sumida River, connecting Adachi City's northern and southern parts. The bridge played a role in the expansion of Senju-juku across to Arakawa-ku side.

A bridge over the Sumida River north of Minamisenju Station and Minowa Station that carries the Mito Highway.
On the day of the trip, I went on a shared bicycle, crossed the bridge, and went down to the riverbank. There was a promenade, so I took a walk along the riverbank and passed under the bridge.
There are information boards posted on the wall at the foot of the bridge, which gives you a sense of the history of the bridge.
The azaleas were blooming on the promenade and it was very beautiful.

While this unusual looking bridge has pedestrian access on both sides, one side is only accessible via a spiral staircase on each end. Clearly human access on foot is an afterthought and good luck dragging a bicycle up and down those many twisting steps.
About bridge ratings: Bridges should carry people from one side to the other.
1 Star: No pedestrian access (train bridges excluded)
1-2 Stars: No dedicated pedestrian access, but pedestrians may cross.
2-3 Stars: Dedicated pedestrian access on one side.
3-4 Stars: Dedicated pedestrian access on both sides.
4-5 Stars: Pedestrian exclusive bridge. Motorized vehicles prohibited or excluded.
In each instance, the difference between a lower or higher amount of stars is whether the bridge is visually appealing and/or unique.
(Translated by Google) A bridge built in 1594. This is the first bridge built by Tokugawa Ieyasu after he entered Edo. At first it was called Ohashi, but after Ryogoku Bridge was built, it became known as Senju Ohashi.
It is the northern gateway to Edo, and it is also the place where Matsuo Basho set out on his journey along the narrow roads of the countryside, and is also depicted in Hiroshige Utagawa's ``One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.''
Although it was repeatedly flooded and rebuilt and replaced six times, it remained a famous bridge for about 300 years, until the flood of 1885 during the Meiji era. The current bridge was built in 1927 and has a structure called a braced rib tied arch type, making it a valuable bridge in the history of architecture.

Ryogoku Bridge has a rich history dating back 250 years when a festival was held to appease the water spirit and combat widespread starvation and illness. This tradition continues today with the Sumida River Fireworks Display, organized by the Tokyo metropolitan government and local wards along the river. The event was originally held near Ryogoku but later moved to two different sites.
(Translated by Google) 🌼Sumida River Bridge Tour: Long-established bridges from the Edo period🌼
It is named Ryogoku Bridge because it is located on the border between the two countries. In the Edo period, Hirokoji was established in this area, especially on the west side, and it was said to be very lively, and the east side, known as Ryogoku, is known for its sumo culture.
The bridge, which was affectionately known as ``Ohashi'' by the people of Edo, has a history of suffering many fires and other disasters. The current bridge was built after the Great Kanto Earthquake and is extremely strong and sturdy.
It is located in the middle of the Sumida River, which is about 23 kilometers long, and kindly watches over the cars and boats passing by.

(Translated by Google) A bridge over the Sumida River.
One of Tokyo's most famous bridges, it is impressive in terms of its size, views, parapets and walkways.
The spheres on the main pillars are fitted with lights, and when you see the ruins in the evening, it looks like a spaceship.
The best way to feel the Edo atmosphere is to look down on the yakatabune boats from the boat. Lighted boats frequently come and go. Yakatabune boats are not something you can easily board, like water buses or Gifu's cormorant fishing boats, but just looking at them from the bridge is refreshing.
All of the bridges over the Sumida River are original in design, and are lit up to look beautiful at night. We recommend walking along the riverbank to see them.

Looking up at the Skytree while feeling the breeze along the Sumida River is a great location both day and night.

The unique atmosphere where the babbling of the river and the hustle and bustle of the city mix together is irresistibly charming!
We also recommend taking a boat cruise along the Sumida River to view the Skytree.
The view from the boat is a different experience, and you can enjoy a relaxing time.
Especially at dusk, you will be captivated by the way the Skytree shines as the color of the sky changes from moment to moment.
The area around Ryogoku Bridge is perfect for a stroll, with many historic streets and delicious restaurants.
You can take photos with the Skytree in the background, walk along the river, and spend a luxurious time.

(Translated by Google) This is a magnificent bridge over National Route 14. Both the road and the river are wide.
The first bridge here was built in the early Edo period, and it was the second bridge over the Sumida River (then known as the Okawa River) after the Senju Bridge.
After several reconstructions, the current bridge was completed in 1932. In 2008, it was designated a Tokyo Metropolitan Historical Landmark.
The spheres on both ends of the bridge are monuments commemorating the recovery from the Great Kanto Earthquake. The same spheres can be seen in old pre-war photographs.
The current bridge was in place at the time of the Great Tokyo Air Raid, but the Great Kanto Earthquake occurred during the time of the previous bridge. Along with Hiroshima's Ota River, it has experienced a tragic history.
Now, as if those days were a lie, the Skytree towers majestically from Ryogoku Bridge, and tourist and transport boats pass by.
It's extremely hot today, but many passersby are taking photos here.

It was named Ryogoku Bridge because it was located between Musashi and Shimousa provinces. It has been rebuilt many times, with the current bridge being built in 1932. It is 164.5 meters long. National Route 14 runs over it. It's fun to see designs featuring sumo and the Kokugikan throughout. After crossing the bridge from west to east (from Chuo Ward to Sumida Ward), walk a short distance and you'll see the Ryogoku Kokugikan on your left. The fireworks for the Sumida River Fireworks Festival are launched above the river from this bridge, but they're quite far away, so you can't see much from here.

This bridge was used as a filming location for Kamen Rider Sword and the dancing lines, and the Yurikamome line passes overhead on the inner road.

踊る大走査線や仮面ライダー剣のロケ地にもなった橋で、内側の道は頭上をゆりかもめが通っています。夜に臨む内陸側の景色は未来的絶景（パレットタウンがあった頃は更に絶景だったのでしょうね……）らしいので一度訪れてみてはいかがでしょう？
(Translated by Google) A bridge that crosses Odaiba and Ariake. The sidewalk is wide.
Probably because it was a holiday, there weren't many people or cars passing by. Ariake Bridge, which is a little further north, had quite a lot of traffic, so maybe it's a side street or not the main route?
The location where I took the photo was a bit bad, so Odaiba's Ferris wheel is slightly hidden by the road, but if you choose the right spot, you can see it quite nicely.
(Original)
お台場と有明を渡す橋。歩道は広め。
休日のためか、人も車もそんなに通っていなかった。もう少し北にある有明橋は結構車が通っていたからこっちは脇道というか主要ルートではないのかも？
写真を撮った位置が少し悪かったのででお台場の観覧車が道路で若干隠れていますが場所を選べば結構綺麗に見えます。
(Translated by Google) The bridge's official name is written in hiragana.
It has a marine design, with wave-motif pillars, railings modeled after a suspension bridge, and guardrails modeled after a cupola (maybe a wave? 🌊). That said, this area is a canal, so the waves are very calm.
Originally a port area, the riverbank has been developed into a beautiful park. However, as it is a little away from residential areas, there are not many people passing by, and at night you can enjoy the waterside alone without being disturbed. There are also fewer people on this bridge compared to the spacious sidewalk, so you can cross comfortably while looking at the lights.
(Original)
ひらがなが正式名称の橋。
波モチーフの親柱に吊り橋を模した欄干、キューポラ（波かも？🌊）を模したガードレールなどマリンなデザイン。といってもこの辺りは運河で波は至極静かなのですが。
もともと港湾エリアで、河岸は綺麗な公園に整えられました。ですが居住エリアから少し離れているため人通りは多くなく、夜は水辺を一人邪魔されることなく楽しめます。この橋も広々とした歩道に比して人は少なく、灯りを眺めながら快適に渡れます。
(Translated by Google) This is a bridge that connects Ariake and Aomi. The sidewalks are wide and there are separate lanes for bicycles and pedestrians, making it very easy to ride on a bicycle.

有明と青海を結ぶ橋です。歩道が広く、自転車と歩行者それぞれの通行帯が設定されているため、自転車でもとても走りやすいです。

Kiyari Bridge, also known as Kiyarabashi, is a charming bridge that connects Harumi and Ariake. It offers stunning views of the Ariake Arena, one of the 2020 Olympics Stadiums. As you walk along the bridge from Kachidoki to Ariake, you'll pass through a landscape with a clear contrast of light and dark created by the overhead expressway. However, be cautious of bicycles as they can obstruct your view.
Great
Purna C — Google review
Beautiful bridge.
(Translated by Google) The name seems to come from the fact that there was a lumber yard there. It is read as "Kiyarabashi".
I often crossed it when going to Ariake Arena.
The Shuto Expressway runs directly above it, giving it a modern architectural feel. However, when I look down, I see a sandbar that is off limits to people and is overgrown with plants, which gives me a strange feeling.
From the bridge, you can enjoy a great view of the bay area such as Toyosu, Shinonome, and Daiba, and it is also a fun place to take photos.
The photos were taken many times depending on the season.
(Original)
貯木場があったことに由来する名前らしい。「きやりばし」と読む。
有明アリーナに行く時によく渡りました。
真上には首都高が併走し近代的な建築物感 がある。ところが見下ろすと人が立ち入ることができない中洲があって草木が生い茂ってたりして不思議な気持ちにもなる。
橋からは豊洲・東雲・台場といった湾岸エリアの眺めが良く写真を撮っても楽しい場所です。
写真は季節時間帯によって何回も撮ったものです。
(Translated by Google) One of the big bridges spanning the Toyosu area.
The night view of the Bay Area is beautiful, but the main attraction here is the green embankment. It's a great contrast to have a dense forest in a modern city.
The bridge is fairly wide, but when events are held at Ariake Arena, it gets crowded with people.
(Original)
豊洲エリアに架かる大きな橋のひとつ。
ベイエリアは夜景が綺麗ですが、ここは緑化された堤防が最大の見どころ。鬱蒼たる森林が近代的な街の中にあるというのはすごくいいコントラストです。
橋の幅はそこそこありますが、有明アリーナでイベントが開かれると沢山の人でごった返します。
(Translated by Google) Bridge connecting Harumi and Ariake
I couldn't read the name at first...
This is "Kiyarabashi".
On the walking course, you will cross the Harumi Ohashi Bridge from the Kachidoki side, and then cross it frequently as you pass through to Ariake.
Please be careful of bicycles as the structure completely blocks your view along the way.
It is also interesting to see the expressway passing overhead, creating a landscape with a clear contrast of light and dark.
You can see Ariake Arena on the other side of the bridge, and if you look toward the river, you can see the old embankment.
It seems like a park is being built on the old embankment, so I'm looking forward to its completion.
If that happens, I think the number of people passing by will increase.

晴海ー有明を繋ぐ橋
最初名前が読めなかった・・・
「きやりばし」です。
散歩コースで勝どき側から晴海大橋を渡り、更に有明へと抜ける際にちょくちょく渡ります。
途中、視界が完全に遮られる構造になっている為、自転車には注意して下さい。
頭上に高速道路が通っており、明暗はっきりとしたコントラストのついた風景になっているのも面白い。
橋向こうに有明アリーナが望め、川面へ目を向ければ旧堤防が見られます。
何やら旧堤防に公園を作っているらしく完成が楽しみですね。
そうなったら人通りも増えちゃいそうですが。
(Translated by Google) The canals are fun to look at, but it's even more fun to actually ride a boat through them. Especially the wooden bridge. When I pass under a bridge, I get to see things behind the bridge that I don't normally get to see, and I'm always intrigued. A photo from when I participated in the Shibaura Institute of Technology's canal cruise event. I wish they would hold canal cruise experience sessions more often. The wooden bridge is the best.

Since the bridge will be built, many people will be crossing it in the future for event use.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway, operated by the Metropolitan Expressway Service Company Limited, was constructed over the Nihombashi river just before the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. This decision led to unintended consequences as it obscured the view of Mt. Fuji from the historic Nihombashi bridge, impacting its cultural significance.

Sights & Landmarks
Kachidoki Bridge, a double-leaf bascule bridge, is a significant cultural landmark in Japan. It is the second to last bridge along the Sumida River and was constructed between 1933 and 1940. Although its center drawbridge is no longer operational, the bridge's unique design and nearby museum make it an important part of Tokyo's architectural heritage. The bridge offers stunning views of the city, especially at night when Tokyo Tower reflects on the river beneath it.
Built in the 1930s its a bridge of historical interest along with the nearby museum. If possible its best viewed by night when it’s illuminated. You can view it and pass under it on the Tokyo Cruise line.
Greg T — Google review
Beautiful Bridge over the Sumida river. Took the Tokyo river cruise from Odaiba to Asakusa. You got a wonderful water view of all the bridges.
I love bridges. The second to last bridge of the Sumida River is 勝鬨橋 Kachidoki Bridge (built 1933-1940) (center drawbridge no longer used).
This is my second favorite of the bridges of the Sumida River. (The Kiyosu Bridge is my favorite.)
It has a pair of buildings on either side of the unused drawbridge on both sides of the bridge that housed the operators. There is a tunnel for pedestrians to pass beneath the lookout towers as well as a pedestrian balcony around the turrets. These structures rest on the mid-river footings of the bridge.
There is a Kachidoki Bridge Museum across from the North West corner of the bridge.
Tied-arch bridge over the Simona River. View of the Tokyo Tower.
Cool Experience.Just have water with you and visit WC before.Slow walk approximately 1 hour(-+)
Nice looking metal bridge with arches.
This bridge features a double-leaf bascule mechanism, meaning both sides of the bridge lifted to allow ships to pass
Beautiful city views, especially at night time!
Everytime I walk here, I can't help myself but to take photos of Tokyo Tower and the reflection of the bridge on the river.

(Translated by Google) A dazzling chalk truss bridge. It has been repainted relatively recently and has a beautiful exterior, but it has a long history and is one of the oldest steel truss bridges.
Nowadays, it doesn't seem necessary to have such a sturdy structure with steel frames, but it still has a solid and magnificent atmosphere that is unique to this era.
The water gate is right nearby, and in the evening you can see people slowly watching it open and close, making it a part of the idyllic scenery on the edge of Chuo Ward.

(Translated by Google) First of all, the ``appearance'' of this bridge is good🎵Although it is a bridge that is only used by local workers or residents, it has a nice historical appearance. This bridge is the oldest road bridge among the existing iron bridges in Tokyo, and is registered as a cultural property of Chuo Ward. The type of bridge is a simple platform truss bridge. The bridge was built in 1904 as part of the reconstruction project after the Great Kanto Earthquake. At the time, Tokyo City (previously the Tokyo Metropolitan Special Wards) was renovating many bridges in order to recover from the Great Kanto Earthquake. As a result, the budget for reconstruction became scarce. Therefore, it is said that the materials used for this bridge were those from the former Ryogoku Bridge (built in 1904). This bridge also appeared in Kafū Nagai's ``Danchoutei Hijo'', so I think it has been attracting people's attention since then.
(Original)
まず、この橋の“姿”が良い🎵ほぼ、近隣の勤め人か住民しか利用しない橋なのであるが、歴史を感じる佇まい良いのである。この橋は、東京都内に現存する鉄橋のうち、道路橋としては最古のもので、中央区の区民文化財に登録されている。橋梁の形式は、下路式単純プラットトラス橋。架橋されたのは、関東大震災後の復興事業の一つとして、昭和7(1904)年とのことである。当時、東京市(東京都特別区の前身)は、関東大震災からの復興のため、多くの橋を改築していた。そのため、復興の予算が乏しくなった。そこで、この橋の材料は、旧両国橋(明治37(1904)年架設)のものを利用したとのことである。また、この橋は、永井荷風の『断腸亭日乗』にも登場しており、当時から人々に注目されていたのでは、と思う。

Toyomi Bridge is a remarkable Vierendeel trussed bridge that was constructed in the aftermath of the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923. Despite its age, this near-centenarian bridge stands as a sturdy symbol of resilience and reconstruction. The bridge's exterior resembles a skeletal structure, while its interior is adorned with captivating illumination.
One of many sturdy “Fukko-bashi” (Reconstruction Bridges) built just a few years after the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923.
No matter what the size is, this is the magnificent near-centenarian Vierendeel trussed bridge. Love it.

Tsukiji-Ohashi Bridge is the final bridge spanning the Sumidagawa River before it meets Tokyo Bay. It was opened in 2019, although some sources mention a November 2018 opening. The bridge gained attention when it was used to relocate the Fish Market from Tsukiji to Toyosu, with small turret trucks crossing over it. The area around the bridge offers picturesque running and cycling routes, connecting several beautiful bridges.
The Tsukiji-Ohashi Bridge (築地大橋) is an impressive modern landmark in Tokyo, connecting the bustling Tsukiji area with the newly developed waterfront district of Toyosu. Completed in 2016, the bridge was built as part of an urban redevelopment plan following the relocation of the famous Tsukiji Fish Market. Its sleek, minimalist design complements the surrounding skyline, while providing a crucial transportation link over the Sumida River. A unique feature of the bridge is its pedestrian walkway, which offers scenic views of Tokyo Bay and the nearby high-rise buildings. The bridge not only serves as a vital infrastructure piece but also as a popular spot for city dwellers and tourists to enjoy peaceful walks along the waterfront, making it a blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal in one of Tokyo’s most dynamic areas.

I love bridges. This is the last bridge over the 隅田川 Sumidagawa [River] before the waterway joins 東京湾 Tōkyōwan [Bay].
築地大橋 Tsukiji Ōhashi [Great Bridge] was opened sometime in 2019. Japanese Wikipedia indicates a Nov. 2018 opening.
The first I heard of it being used was in a SoraNews24 piece about the move of the Fish Market from Tsukiji to Toyosu including moving a fleet of small turret trucks to the new site across the bridge. (Oct. 2018)
However, when I visited in January 2019, the bridge was not in use and off limits.
It was about half open in Jan. 2020 when I crossed the downriver side of the bridge as a pedestrian. The north sidewalk was not yet opened.
The bridge seemed complete long before it was opened. I have always thought it was finished for the Olympics.
The bridge has a pair of flared arch supports that make it seem like a pair of lips kissing the sky.
Running or cycling, this whole place around the few bridges which connects to one another, all of them have the beauty to remember
This is the first and cool bridge to Sumida river. (Mar. 2021)
Pleasant walk along the bridge with nice views
You can get interesting shots of 2 of the towers of Tokyo
Nice photography at day time but more stunning at night time.
(Translated by Google) The bridge from Tsukiji to Kachidoki. The sight of a houseboat passing under the bridge and Tokyo Tower visible beyond Hamarikyu makes for a truly beautiful sight.

Ryukan-sakura Bridge is a popular spot for the annual fireworks festival in July, offering a historical experience and stunning views of the Sumida Park's 1,000 cherry trees. It provides close-up views of the Tohoku Shinkansen departing from Tokyo Station and the conventional line to Saitama, making it a must-visit for train enthusiasts. The bridge offers a serene atmosphere with various elements such as cityscapes, rivers, and trains passing by.
(Translated by Google) I was tired from work and other things, so I felt like walking. I like the calm, urban atmosphere of this kind of city center.
A friend of mine told me about it, but I personally think it's a little-known place because there aren't many people there (lol).
Looking at the Nihonbashi River and the Shuto Expressway gives me an indescribable feeling.
Also, if I feel like healing, I would like to visit here. Thank you.

(Translated by Google) A pedestrian-only bridge that spans between Otemachi and Kanda.
The Yamanote Line and other lines often pass nearby, so it might be a good place to take your children who love trains.

(Translated by Google) I was walking around after running some errands before work when I found this place! It was around 10am on a weekday so there were few people around and I was able to take my time and enjoy the view. The JR line and the Metropolitan Expressway were mixed together and it was a really nice three-dimensional space for me. The atmosphere at night seemed nice too.

(Translated by Google) It is a splendid pedestrian-only bridge measuring 120m long and 7m wide, and is equipped with an elevator for use by wheelchair users and strollers. There aren't many people passing by, but the parallel JR railway bridge is lively with trains passing through it frequently. The name Ryukan apparently comes from the fact that a former shogunate monk named ``Ryukan Inoue'' founded a town around here during the Keicho period.
(Original)
長さ120m・幅7mの歩行者専用の立派な橋で車椅子やベビーカー使用者が利用出来るようエレベーターが設置されています。人通りは少ないですが並列のJRの鉄道橋は電車が頻繁に通過しており賑やかですね。竜閑と言う名前は慶長の時代、旧幕府坊主の「井上龍閑」と言う方がこの辺りの町をを開いたことに由来しているそうです。
(Translated by Google) I was guided through Google Navi when walking between Kanda and Tokyo Station. There are so many things to see just by walking along the JR, Shuto Expressway, and sightseeing boats that it's hard to move forward!
No wonder it has been used as a filming location for many dramas.

This is a new route that goes between the Kanda and Otemachi areas. It seems that it was developed at the same time as the opening of a redevelopment building called Otemachi Place. Trains and Shinkansen trains pass right by, so it's quite fun.

At night, the Aioi Bridge is illuminated, creating a beautiful sight as it spans across the water. The bridge has round pillars erected on the sea surface below it, allowing people to cross. However, caution is advised when passing under the bridge at night due to the lack of lighting in that area. Despite this, the bridge itself is well-lit and sees a fair amount of pedestrian and vehicular traffic during nighttime.
It's a functioning bridge and hasn't collapsed on me yet. 5/5 rating then?

(Translated by Google) This bridge spans the Sumida River and passes through Tsukuda and Etchujima Islands. It's a pretty nice bridge...
Tsukishima, which rapidly developed as an industrial area, could only be accessed by ferry during the early Meiji era, and a bridge was built, but it was destroyed by a burning boat during the Great Earthquake, and after three years, the bridge was rebuilt as an isolated island. About 25 years ago, the bridge was rebuilt. It seems that it became the current bridge.
You can also go down the stairs to the island (park) under the bridge.
(Original)
隅田川派川にかかる橋で、佃と越中島を通しています。かなり立派な橋ですね……。
工業地区として急速に発展した月島は明治当初、渡し船による行き来しかできず橋が作られるも大震災時に燃える船に火を移され消失、再び孤島として3年を経て橋が再建、約25年前に現在の橋へとなったそうです。
なお、橋の下にある島（公園）へ途中の階段から下りる事ができます。
(Translated by Google) The steel truss structure is impressive. In particular, the Koto Ward side has an unusual asymmetrical shape.
In the middle of the bridge is Nakanoshima, which was originally an island and can now be accessed as a park.
This area has been developed as a waterside park and is a good place for a walking trail.

There were many round pillars erected on the sea surface directly below the bridge to allow people to cross, and we managed to cross under the bridge and go all the way around. However, there are no lights under the bridge, and we do not recommend passing under the bridge at night.
Aioi Bridge itself is beautifully lit up, and there is a fair amount of traffic on the sidewalk.
The night view on the opposite bank is also beautiful, and although it is smaller, you can see the illuminated Eitai Bridge from this area as well.

Bridge
Miyoshi Bridge, constructed in December 1929 after the Great Kanto Earthquake, was originally a three-pronged bridge situated at a bend in the Tsukiji River. Over time, urban development has transformed the area, and now it stands as a complex structure near Chuo Ward Office with no traffic lights at its intersection. The historical significance of this bridge is commemorated by a nearby stone monument detailing its past.
(Translated by Google) Visit the very valuable bridge in front of Chuo Ward Office.
This is the bridge where Yukio Mishima once captured the scenery in his work ``Hadashikukushi.'' This is something that will make you want to go and see what the bridge looks like at night.
The four of them surrounded the four streets at the border of 1-chome and 2-chome in Higashi Ginza. The light from the street lamps was falling regularly on the building street, like water being sprinkled on it. The moonlight is obscured by the shadows of the buildings on the narrow street.
It wasn't long before Miyoshi Bridge, the first bridge the four of them had to cross, appeared to be rising higher and higher. It was a rare three-pronged bridge built over a three-pronged river, and on the opposite bank, the gloomy building of the Chuo Ward Office crouched down, the dial of the clock tower showing the strange time. The bridge's railings are low, and at each of the three corners that form the trident in the center, there are elegant Suzuran lanterns. Each Suzuranto has four hanging lights, but not all of them are lit. Illuminated by the moon, the round polished glass cover of the unlit lamp appears pure white. And around the pair, many insects are silently buzzing around.
River water is worshiped because of the moon.
This bridge was constructed as part of the reconstruction plan after the Great Kanto Earthquake, where a waterway (Kaede River/Tsukiji River Connecting Canal) connecting the Tsukiji River with the Jun River was excavated at a bend in the Tsukiji River, creating a three-way shape. A three-pronged bridge was built in December 1920.
A river existed here, and people's lives revolved around the river, and the atmospheric scenery where liquor boats and other ships passed along the river has now been reclaimed and turned into an expressway and an overpass.
In the ward, for 1992 and 1992,
The landscape has been designed to give a sense of the old days, incorporating the appearance of the trees reflecting on the water's edge, using the Suzuran lights that were installed at the time for lighting, and restoring the sidewalk, which had once been used as an expressway ramp and has been partially removed.

中央区役所の前にあるとても貴重な橋を見学。
ここは、かつて三島由紀夫がその風景を橋づくしという作品に残した橋です。夜の橋の様子を見に行きたくなる内容です。
四人は東銀座の一丁目と二丁目の境のところで、四通りをほ囲った。ビル街に、街灯のあかりだけが、規則正しく水を撒いたように降っている。月光はその細い通りでは、ビルの影に覆われている。
程なく四人の渡るべき最初の橋、三吉橋がゆくてに高まって見えた。それは三叉の川筋に架せられた珍しい三叉の橋で向う岸の角には中央区役所の陰気なビルがうずくまり時計台の文字板がしらじらと冴えて、とんちんかんな時刻をさし示している。橋の欄干は低く、その三叉の中央の三用形を形づくる三つの角に、おのおの古雅な鈴蘭灯が立っている。鈴蘭灯のひとつひとつが、四つの灯火を吊るしているのに、その凡てが燈っているわけではない。月に照らされて灯っていない灯の丸い磨硝子の覆いがまっ白に見える。そして対のまわりには、おまたの羽虫が音もなく誰がっている。
川水は月のために耰されている。
この橋は、築地川の屈曲した地点に、潤川と結ぶ水路（楓川・築地川連絡運河）が開削され、川が三又の形となった所に、関東大震災後の復興計画の一環として、昭和4年12月に三又の橋が架けられました。
ここに川が存在し、人々の暮らしも川を中心に営まれ、川筋を酒荷の船などが通った情緒ある風景も、今は埋立てられ高速道路と化し、陸橋となりました。

(Translated by Google) This is a magnificent urban wonder. A must-see for bridge lovers coming to Chuo Ward.
The bridge is already unusual in shape, with the shrubbery on top of it blocking the view, making it difficult to understand at first glance what shape it is. The three forks are not all the same shape, only the one directly above the expressway is different. There are paths (always locked) that lead from ground level to the left and right of the expressway, and are likely used for maintenance.
The main pillars, balustrades, and guardrails are all elaborately designed, and the bridge lights are four-ball chandelier style. It is located right in front of the Chuo Ward Office, and you can see that this has been a central location since ancient times.
The stone monument records that there was a confluence of rivers here, and that a three-forked wooden bridge was built there. It was filled in and became an expressway, but this bridge seems to have been replaced with this stately bridge, following the old atmosphere.
All the bridges along this expressway are interesting, and this is a series of spots that bridge lovers should definitely visit.

これは見事な都市の奇観。中央区に来る橋好きなら必見。
ただでさえ三叉橋という珍しい形なのに、橋上の植え込みが視界を遮りどんな形なのか一見しては把握できない形をしています。三叉が同じ形状ではなく、高速道路の真上のみ違います。地上から高速道路の左右に降りてゆける（常時施錠）道があり、メンテナンス等で用いられるものと思われます。
親柱、欄干、ガードレールとも意匠の凝った造りで、橋梁灯も4つ玉のシャンデリア風。中央区役所の真ん前にあり、昔からここが中心的な土地であったことが伺えます。
石碑にはここに川の合流地点があり、そこに三叉の木造橋が架けられていたことが記されています。それが埋め立てられ高速道路となりましたが、この橋も昔の風情を踏襲しこの風格ある橋に架け替えられたようです。
この高速道路沿いの橋はいずれも面白く、橋好きならぜひ訪れるべき一連のスポットです。

It seems this was a very prosperous place a generation ago.
The Tsukiji River flows in front of Chuo Ward Office, and during the Edo period it was the center of logistics.

so it was filled in and is now the Metropolitan Expressway.
This bridge is built over that.

(Translated by Google) As I proceeded from the delicious pasta restaurant "Mayol", I found an explanation of "Kamejima Bridge"👀.
It is said that there was an island that looked like a turtle where they sold bottles, so it is called Kamejima Bridge (^^).
Also introduced were Mifune Tegumiyashiki, who was also active as a naval officer, and Zuiken Kawamura (^^).
Furthermore, we discovered a stone monument of "Horibe Yasubei Takeyoshi", a famous Ako samurai 👀. Why is Yasubei Horibe here? When I read the stone monument, I was surprised to find out that he lived in this place.
Also, on the exit side of "Kamejima Bridge", I found an information board about "people who moved to this area and whose achievements can be conveyed"👀.
As I read it, I found that Toshu Sai Sharaku, Ino Tadataka, and others who lived in Hatchobori, and Matsuo Basho's haiku monuments were introduced (^^).
Another day, when I passed Kamejima Bridge at night, I discovered Tokyo Sky Tree👀. I was surprised that I could see it from such a place 🤳～(^^)

Uneme Bridge, also known as Nemebashi, is a beautiful bridge with two arches that overlooks the Shuto Expressway. It offers a unique perspective of watching cars emerge from the tunnel, which can be quite an enjoyable experience reminiscent of childhood excitement. The name "Nemebashi" originates from the mansion of Matsudaira Amejo during the early Edo period and holds a historical significance despite being lost in a fire.
(Translated by Google) It's an elaborately constructed bridge. Moreover, one end of the bridge faces the entrance/exit to the expressway, so you have to cross one side of the bridge, which makes for an interesting path.
There's plenty to see here, including the historic design, the interesting road structure, the rushing flow of the expressway below, and the garden-style park at the side. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) The bridge that once spanned the Tsukiji River is now a bridge that crosses the Metropolitan Expressway No. 1.
Apparently, the road connecting this bridge was originally a river.
The balustrade is decorated with willow trees and Japan's oldest modern hotel, giving you a sense of the history unique to Ginza.
This area was home to the residence of Matsudaira Josho in the early Edo period, and after it burned down in the great fire of 1724, the area was cleared of fire and was commonly called Onnagahara. It is thought that this is where the name of the bridge came from.
Onnagahara became an urban area called Akame-cho in 1888, and it seems that a new urban area with a mix of Japanese and Western styles was formed, located between Ginza Brick Town and the foreign settlement of Tsukiji.
The current bridge, which was rebuilt during reconstruction after the earthquake, used arches, which were said to have an excellent design at the time. Also, the area under the bridge was transformed from the Tsukiji River into the current expressway in 1963.
In 1990, the ward created a project based on the phantom hotel ``Tsukiji Hotel-kan'' (born in the first year of the Meiji era as the first modern Western-style hotel and boasting prosperity, but burned down in the 5th year of Meiji) and ``Yanagi in Ginza''. The railings, etc. were constructed with a design that

このあたりは、江戸前期に松平女正の屋敷があり、享保9年（1724年）の大火で焼けたあと火除地になって、俗に女が原と呼ばれました。橋名の由来はここからきたものと思われます。
女が原は、明治2年に朱女町と称する市街地となり、銀座煉瓦街と築地の外国人居留地との間に位置して和洋混合の新興市街地が形成されていったようです。
震災復興時に架け替えられた現在の橋は、当時意匠的に優れていたといわれるアーチが採用されました。また橋の下は昭和37年に築地川から現在の高速道路に姿を変えました。
区では平成2年度に、幻のホテル “築地ホテル館”（明治元年、近代的な洋式ホテル第一号として誕生し、栄華を誇ったが明治5年焼失）ど銀座の柳”を題材にした意匠で高欄等を整備しました。

(Translated by Google) Honestly, I can't read it at first glance.
The Ginza IC entrance of the C1 Metropolitan Expressway's Inner Loop Line is right nearby, and you can overlook the expressway from the bridge. It's fun to keep watching the cars coming out of the tunnel, and it makes me feel like a kid. I never get tired of watching it. (^_^)
Of course, it's also close to Ginza, so it's not a bad idea to stop by when you go to Ginza. I think it's a good place, at least for car lovers.

Bridge
Reigan Bridge, located near Kayabacho Station in Tokyo, is a historic structure that has been frequented for many years. The bridge, which is about 50 meters long, offers a picturesque view illuminated by the morning sun. Despite its historical significance dating back to the Edo period, its current location differs from its original placement. This short bridge near Tokyo Station is one of several ancient bridges in the area and continues to attract visitors due to its proximity and historical charm.

(Translated by Google) This bridge is built over the expressway. It is located right next to Tsukiji Police Station.
The main pillars are a unique mix of tile and stainless steel. The parapet is too high to climb over as it overlooks the expressway. The guardrails are simple. The bridge lights are special, with only one light bulb.
One side of the bridge is a park, with a view of the shrubbery. There is a plaque here that tells the history of the bridge, but it is buried in summer grass and difficult to see.
The design is quite elaborate, and it might be worth a visit.

Edobashi Bridge, located in Tokyo, is a significant site as it used to be a junction on the Metropolitan Expressway. Although the expressway has been closed, Edobashi still holds historical importance as it was part of the original bridge that connected Japan's heart during the Edo period. The area surrounding Edobashi is undergoing redevelopment, which will likely transform Nihonbashi into an appealing town once completed.

Jim E — Google review
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! Definitely a bridge. I think if you Google "Tokyo" this bridge will appear as the actual center of the city. So that's cool. I waved to the night sightseeing bus down below and the captain waved back. Win! Oh in the summer it's really stinky. Minus 1 star for stink!
Update: center of Tokyo bridge is actually 1 bridge over OOPS
Probably you would say..why four stars if there is barely anything to see? The answer is that the little left over left is actually the real deal..what was left of the original bridge that joined the heart of japan with the rest of the country in the Edo period. It is not what you can actually see but what it represents..the non existing parts were destroyed during WWII. Tokyo doesn’t have a lot of original monuments or buildings because of different wars... so this is one of the remains of one of the most important eras in Japanese history.
Such a nice place.
I have to ashamely admit that I live in Tokyo for years it is the first time I have been there.
I should have been there way earlier
(Translated by Google) This is a bridge spanning the Nihonbashi River. Although it is famous as a junction on the Shuto Expressway, this is the first time I have seen the actual bridge.
Edobashi was built over the Nihonbashi River between Ofuna-cho and Honzaimoku-cho in the 17th century, and its original location was downstream from the current location. As for the origin of the name, there is one theory that it was named because of the association with neighboring Nihonbashi, and another theory that suggests that this area was the center of Edo before urbanization.
It was converted into a stone bridge in 1875, an iron bridge in 1901, and rebuilt at its current location in 1927 (Showa 2) with the opening of Showa Street.
The Shuto Expressway Central Loop Line runs directly above it, and I have mixed feelings about it thinking that it will be removed in 10 years.
(Original)
日本橋川に架かる橋です。首都高のジャンクションとしては有名ですが、実際の橋を見るのは初めてです。
江戸橋は、17世紀に大船町と本材木町の間の日本橋川に架けられ、当初の位置は現在より下流にありました。名前の由来は、隣の日本橋との連想から命名されたとする説のほか、都市化以前の江戸中心部がこの周辺だったのではないかと推測する説があるそうです。
1875年に石橋に、1901年には鉄橋へ改架され、1927年（昭和2年）昭和通り開通に伴い現在地に架け直されました。
真上を首都高都心環状線が走りますが、10年後は撤去されると思うと複雑な思いがありますね。
(Translated by Google) Edobashi used to be a junction on the Metropolitan Expressway where you could get on and off, but it is now closed.
Nearby, the Nihonbashi elevated bridge removal project and the Nihonbashi 1-chome redevelopment project are progressing steadily.
This is a huge project and will take some time to complete, but once it is completed, the Nihonbashi area will no doubt be reborn as an attractive town.

巨大プロジェクトで完成まで時間はかかりますが、完成したら日本橋界隈は魅力ある街に生まれ変わる事間違いなし。
Marvelous view
(Translated by Google) Edobashi used to only have above-ground sidewalks on one side and an underpass on the other, but with the relocation of the Shuto Expressway entrance and exit, it has become easier to walk on the ground instead of a dimly lit underpass. However, I think that underground passage was a place that appeared in the movie Kirin no Tsubasa, so I feel a little sad that a scene from the movie is no longer there.
(Original)
江戸橋はずっと片側しか地上の歩道がなく片側は地下道だったのですが、首都高出入口の移転により、薄暗い地下道ではなく地上の歩道に変わり歩きやすくなりました。ただあの地下道は映画麒麟の翼に出てくる場所だったと思うので映画の一場面がなくなったという意味では少し寂しい気もします。

Bridge
Nestled along Shin-ohashi Street, Kayaba Bridge serves as a vital link between Kayabacho and Suitengu, quietly supporting the bustling heart of Tokyo. This unassuming structure lies beneath an elevated expressway and connects key locations like the Tokyo City Air Terminal and Ginza, making it essential for both local commuters and international travelers.
(Translated by Google) The origin of Kayababashi dates back to the Edo period. At that time, this area was a commercial center, with many ships transporting goods through the Nihonbashi River. Kayababashi functioned as a transportation hub.
In the Meiji period, Kayaba Bridge was replaced from a wooden bridge to an iron bridge. This was aimed at increasing traffic and improving durability.
After the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, many infrastructures were destroyed, and Kayababashi was no exception. Kayaba Bridge was also rebuilt as part of the post-earthquake reconstruction plan.
After World War II, Kayaba Bridge was rebuilt again. With post-war reconstruction, bridge design and materials were also modernized.
The current Kayababashi Bridge was constructed based on modern construction techniques and safety standards, and is an important piece of infrastructure that supports daily traffic. Kayabacho still flourishes as a financial district, and Kayababashi serves as its center.
The history of Kayababashi symbolizes the changes in Japan's urban development and transportation from the Edo period to the present day.

茅場橋の起源は江戸時代に遡ります。当時、この地域は商業の中心地であり、多くの船が日本橋川を通じて物資を運んでいました。茅場橋はその交通の要所として機能していました。
明治時代に入り、茅場橋は木造から鉄橋に架け替えられました。これは、増加する交通量と耐久性の向上を目的としたものでした。
1923年の関東大震災後、多くのインフラが破壊されましたが、茅場橋もその例外ではありません。震災後の復興計画の一環として、茅場橋も再建されました。
第二次世界大戦後、茅場橋は再び再建されました。戦後の復興とともに、橋の設計や材料も近代化されました。
現在の茅場橋は、現代の建築技術と安全基準に基づいて建設されており、日々の交通を支える重要なインフラとなっています。茅場町は依然として金融街として栄えており、茅場橋はその中心地としての役割を果たしています。
茅場橋の歴史は、江戸時代から現代までの日本の都市開発と交通の変遷を象徴しています。
