Enkō Bridge, Road bridge and A-bombed building in Minami-ku, Japan
The bridge spans the Enkō River with stone railings and pillars, connecting the northwest and southeast banks of Minami-ku in Hiroshima Prefecture.
Located 1,820 meters from the atomic bomb hypocenter, the bridge remained intact after the explosion on August 6, 1945, serving as an evacuation route.
The name Enkō, written as 猿猴 in Japanese, refers to both monkeys and a water goblin from regional folklore in Chugoku and Shikoku areas.
Visitors can reach the bridge within a 5-minute walk from the South Exit of Hiroshima Station, making it convenient for transportation and sightseeing.
In 1926, the bridge featured decorative posts with eagle statues atop globes and monkey engravings, becoming the most ornate bridge in Hiroshima.
