Tenma Bridge

The Tenma Bridge stretches 151 meters across the Okawa River, connecting the districts of Kita-ku and Chuo-ku with its 19-meter-wide deck.

Built in 1935 to replace previous wooden structures, the bridge incorporates German-sourced iron materials while maintaining Japanese elements in its railings and lighting.

The structure belongs to the 50 bridges of Naniwa, carrying forward the legacy of one of the three major crossings from the historical Edo period.

Located near Tenma Bridge station on both the Keihan Main Line and Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line, the bridge serves thousands of daily commuters.

The bridge features a 61-meter main span with clean lines that reflect a bird in flight, enhanced by illumination during evening hours.
