舟橋

The Funabashi Bridge spans across the Matsukawa River in Toyama City, featuring a traditional wooden design with iron chains and decorative ship-shaped balconies.

During the Edo period, this bridge stood over the Jinzu River as Japan's largest floating bridge, constructed with wooden pillars and connected boats.

The bridge appears in numerous ukiyo-e prints, including works by Hiroshige, and has been commemorated in haiku, waka poetry, and Chinese verse.

Located near the Matsukawa River cruise dock, the bridge provides access to local tea houses and sushi restaurants that line the surrounding area.

The bridge incorporates glass lanterns and commemorative iron chains as design elements, reflecting its original 17th-century floating bridge construction.
