Senju-ōhashi, Road bridge in Minami-Senju, Japan
Senju-ōhashi is a road bridge spanning the Sumida River with an iron braced-rib arch design that measures approximately 92.5 meters long. It connects the Arakawa and Adachi wards, carrying traffic between these areas on both sides of the river.
The original structure was built in 1594 as a wooden crossing and served as one of five major passages over the Sumida during the Edo period. In 1927, it was reconstructed with the iron arch design that remains in place today.
The bridge features a mural showing the opening lines of Matsuo Bashō's "Oku no Hosomichi," which references the poet's departure point for his celebrated journey through northern Japan.
The bridge is easily accessible via Senju-Ohashi Station on the Keisei Main Line and is located in the Senjuhashidocho district. You can walk across it freely at any time without restrictions.
The structure remained intact throughout the entire Edo period and never suffered damage from Sumida River floods that repeatedly threatened other crossings. This remarkable durability made it a dependable passage for many generations.
