Shōhei Bridge, Road bridge in Chiyoda-ku, Japan
The Shōhei Bridge extends across the Kanda River, connecting the neighborhoods of Kanda Awajicho and Sotokanda in central Tokyo.
Built during the Shoho Era between 1644 and 1648, the bridge received its current name in 1691 under the reign of Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.
The bridge and its adjacent hill, Shohei-zaka, appear in numerous Edo period woodblock prints depicting the daily scenes of old Tokyo.
The structure provides a direct route between different sections of Chiyoda-ku, with nearby access to multiple train stations and commercial areas.
The steep incline of the adjacent Shohei-zaka Hill earned it the name Dango-zaka, as people would slip and roll down like dango dumplings.
