Senju Shioiri Ōhashi Bridge

The Senju Shioiri Ōhashi Bridge extends 158.6 meters across the Sumida River, connecting Arakawa and Adachi districts with its iron structure.

The original bridge at this location dates back to 1594, positioned upstream during the Edo period and remained undamaged by floods for 300 years.

The bridge location holds significance in Japanese literature as the departure point for poet Basho Matsuo's journey documented in The Narrow Road to the Deep North.

The structure carries Metropolitan Road Route 314 and provides essential transportation connections between residential areas and commercial zones in eastern Tokyo.

A mural depicting the preface of The Narrow Road to the Deep North decorates the bridge's guard platform, commemorating its literary heritage.
