Yoshida Bridge, Iron bridge in Yokohama, Japan.

The Yoshida Bridge connects Bashamichi district with Isezaki-cho and Yoshida-cho neighborhoods, spanning over a modern highway in central Yokohama.

Built in 1869, this structure marked a milestone as Japan's first iron truss bridge without central supports, replacing an earlier wooden construction from 1859.

The bridge earned the nickname 'Kaneno Hashi' due to its toll system, which represented the early modernization period of Yokohama during the Meiji era.

The current bridge features two traffic lanes with a dedicated pedestrian walkway that intersects with Isezaki Mall, providing access to the Marinard underground shopping area.

Despite multiple reconstructions, the bridge retains decorative railings from its original Kaneno era and survived the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake when nearby structures collapsed.
