Harumi Bridge, Railway bridge in Harumi district, Tokyo, Japan
Harumi Bridge is a railway bridge made of rusted steel that crosses the Harumi Canal and connects two neighborhoods. The structure spans with wide arches and shows the engineering methods from the post-war period.
The bridge was built in 1957 as a rail line for port operations and transported cargo between neighborhoods for decades. Operations ended in 1989, leaving the structure as a reminder of that industrial era.
The bridge shows how ports and water transport shaped Tokyo's growth over time. You can see from its structure how the city relied on ships and railways to move goods across its neighborhoods.
You can reach the bridge from either Tsukishima or Toyosu Station, both served by the Tokyo Metro. A short walk from either station brings you to the structure, with clear paths and easy directions to follow.
The bridge is currently not open to the public and is undergoing conversion into a pedestrian walkway with modern earthquake reinforcements. This transformation will turn an old industrial structure into a new public space.
