Dejima Bridge

The Dejima Bridge spans across waterways with a distinctive iron truss design that incorporates advanced engineering techniques from the late nineteenth century.

Built in 1890, this bridge established a direct connection to Dejima Island, which functioned as the primary Dutch trading post during Japan's period of isolation.

The bridge represents a physical link between Japanese mainland and Dejima Island, where European merchants conducted trade operations for over two centuries.

Visitors can access the bridge on foot or bicycle, with designated paths leading to the Dejima Museum and various historical sites in the surrounding area.

The structure maintains its original iron framework and stands as a designated civil engineering heritage site by the Japan Society of Civil Engineers.
