Azuma Bridge, Road bridge in Sumida district, Tokyo, Japan
The Azuma Bridge spans across the Sumida River, connecting Sumida and Taito wards through a concrete and steel construction measuring 150 meters in length.
The original wooden structure, built in 1774, replaced a boat crossing point called Takecho-no-Watashi and remained intact during the devastating floods of 1786.
The bridge stands near the Asahi Beer headquarters and Tokyo Skytree, marking the boundary between traditional Asakusa district and modern development areas.
Located within walking distance from Asakusa Station, the bridge carries Metropolitan Route 463 and provides passage for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.
Three hundred cherry trees line both sides of the bridge, creating a natural corridor that turns pink during spring bloom season.
