Takebashi, Historical stone bridge in Chiyoda, Japan.
The concrete bridge spans 51 meters across the Imperial Palace moat, connecting Hitotsubashi district with the Daikanchō street in central Tokyo.
Built in 1620 during the Edo period as part of Edo Castle defenses, the bridge received its name from an original bamboo structure at this location.
The bridge stands near the Edo Castle remains and serves as a connection point between modern Tokyo's business district and the historical Imperial Palace grounds.
Located one minute from Takebashi Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line, the bridge provides direct access to the National Museum of Modern Art.
The 1993 renovation incorporated white, black, and pink stones in the design, reflecting the colors of cherry blossoms that bloom along the Imperial moat.
