御成橋, Wooden bridge in Shinagawa, Japan.
Onari Bridge crosses the Meguro River, linking Higashi-Gotanda and Osaki districts within Tokyo's Shinagawa ward. The wooden structure is relatively short and narrow, with railings on both sides and views of the river below.
The bridge was built during Tokyo's modernization period to connect newly developing residential areas with business centers. It forms part of a larger network of river crossings that systematically opened up the city in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The bridge links two neighborhoods with very different characters, with residential areas on one side and commercial zones on the other. Walking across it, you experience how the surroundings shift from quieter streets to busier business districts.
The bridge sits near Osaki Station and provides easy access to several railway lines. The area is flat and simple to walk through, with clear paths and good signage in the surrounding neighborhood.
Many people cross the bridge daily without noticing its role as a junction between two very different urban zones. This constant everyday crossing makes it an invisible part of the routine for commuters and residents.
