豐洲橋

Toyosu Bridge is a steel girder structure spanning approximately 109 meters across the canal in three main sections. The approximately 11-meter-wide deck connects the two sides directly and carries vehicle and pedestrian traffic between the districts.

Completed in 1961, the bridge was built to meet growing transportation needs between the developing districts. It became part of the infrastructure connecting Tokyo's eastern areas during the city's postwar economic expansion.

The bridge connects two neighborhoods with different characters: the older Etchujima side preserves traditional sites and temples, while the newer Toyosu side shows contemporary development. Walking across, you sense the divide between historical and modern Tokyo.

The bridge sits close to several transit stations and is easily accessible by public transportation, including buses that serve the area. A pedestrian path is available, so you can walk or cycle across.

The point where Shiohama Canal meets Toyosu Canal creates a rare waterway intersection that is visible from the bridge. This canal setup is a detail many visitors overlook when simply crossing without paying attention to the waters below.
