Sakura Bridge, Footbridge in Sumida Park, Japan

The pedestrian bridge spans across the Sumida River, featuring an X-shaped structure that connects the Taito and Sumida districts of Tokyo.

The Sakura Bridge opened in April 1985 and received the Japan Society of Civil Engineers Tanaka Prize for its engineering excellence.

The bridge name reflects the Japanese tradition of cherry blossom viewing, as hundreds of sakura trees line both sides of Sumida Park.

Visitors can access the bridge through multiple entry points in Sumida Park, with the nearest subway station being Asakusa on the Ginza Line.

The bridge provides observation points for both the annual fireworks festival in July and the Tokyo Skytree tower in the background.
