Shirahige Bridge, Road bridge in Minami-Senju, Japan

The Shirahige Bridge stretches 168 meters across the Sumida River, connecting the districts of Minami-Senju, Hashiba, and Tsutsumi-Dori in Tokyo.

Architect Jun Masuda designed this steel structure in 1914, incorporating architectural elements that demonstrated the engineering capabilities of early twentieth-century Japan.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government recognizes this bridge as an architectural structure of historic value, representing a period of rapid infrastructure development.

The bridge serves as a major transportation link between Arakawa and Sumida districts, with multiple train stations and bus stops within walking distance.

Steel arches on both sides of the bridge create a symmetrical profile, while the central span provides unobstructed views of the Tokyo Skytree.
