Tokiwa Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Ōtemachi and Nihonbashi-Hongokuchō, Japan.

The Tokiwa Bridge spans 36 meters across the Nihonbashi River with a width of 12 meters, featuring a double-arch stone construction.

Built in 1937, the bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure that had served as a key route from Edo Castle to Asakusa since the early 17th century.

The bridge name 'Tokiwa' references evergreen pine trees, symbolizing the perpetual prosperity of the Tokugawa clan who ruled during the Edo period.

Located near multiple subway stations, the bridge connects the business district of Ōtemachi with the historical Nihonbashi area for pedestrian traffic.

Following damage from the 2011 earthquake, the bridge underwent extensive repairs and reopened in 2021 as Tokyo's oldest remaining stone bridge.
