Jingu Bashi, road bridge in Jingūmae, Tokyo, Japan

Jingūbashi is a 20.4-metre-long, 29.1-metre-wide reinforced concrete bridge over the Yamanote Line, linking Harajuku Station with the entrance to Meiji Shrine. Built in 1982, it replaced the 1920 original and keeps that bridge's ornamental railing pillars. It is open to traffic and has a wide pedestrian area.

The first Jingūbashi opened in September 1920 and was one of Japan's earliest reinforced concrete bridges. The present bridge, 20.4 metres long and 29.1 metres wide, dates from 1982 and replaced that original structure. It carries over the design and ornamental railing pillars of its predecessor.

Since the 1960s the bridge has drawn cosplayers, performers and people in visual kei or lolita fashion, sometimes gothic variants, who pose for photographs. The area was pedestrian-only until 1995, and opening it to motor vehicles is credited with reducing the bridge's popularity. A 2017 CNN guide noted that Harajuku Girls no longer gather there in large numbers.

You can access the bridge directly from Harajuku Station's east exit and should prepare for crowds. Weekends, especially afternoons, are extremely busy, making it harder to move across comfortably.

Until 1995 the surrounding area was closed to vehicle traffic on Sundays, creating a pedestrian zone that attracted street artists and musicians. This weekly closure made the location a notable hub for street art and unconventional culture in Tokyo.
