Benkei Bridge, Concrete bridge in Chiyoda-ku, Japan
The reinforced concrete bridge spans across the Benkeibori moat, connecting the districts of Akasaka and Kioicho in central Tokyo.
Originally constructed as a wooden structure in Kanda Iwamotocho, the bridge was relocated to its current location in 1889 and rebuilt with concrete in 1985.
The bridge name derives from the adjacent Benkei moat, forming part of the former Edo Castle's outer defensive system that shaped Tokyo's infrastructure.
Located 262 meters from Akasaka-mitsuke Station, the bridge provides access points for fishing activities with rental equipment available at the nearby jetty.
The structure features a dedicated fishing platform where visitors can rent rods, bait, and boats to explore the historic moat waters.
