Kanasugi Bridge, Steel bridge in Minato-ku, Japan.

Kanasugi Bridge extends 218.5 meters in length and 24 meters in width across the Keihin Canal, connecting the Konan district sections.

The current structure, completed in 1969, replaced an earlier bridge that served as a meeting point for the historic surrender negotiations of Edo Castle.

The bridge name originates from the Kanasugi Daimyojin Shrine, established by local fishermen who needed a recognizable marker from the sea.

The bridge carries both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, linking Konan 3-chome to Konan 5-chome while providing access to the harbor cleaning facility.

Several theories explain the bridge name, including its connection to ancient Japanese poetry collection Manyoshu and its reference in traditional woodblock prints.
