Ebisu-minami Bridge

The Ebisu-minami Bridge spans across railway tracks between Meguro and Ebisu stations, featuring a distinct blue metallic construction over the railway line.

Originally displayed at the 1904 Saint Louis World's Fair in the United States, the bridge was purchased by Japanese railway authorities and installed in 1906.

The structure became so associated with its American origins that locals refer to it as America Bridge, inspiring multiple musical compositions in Japanese culture.

The bridge connects different sections of the Shibuya district, providing essential passage for vehicles and pedestrians across the busy railway corridor.

The bridge stands as a rare example of early 20th-century American engineering transported and repurposed for long-term use in Japanese infrastructure.
