Komagata Bridge

The Komagata Bridge extends 146 meters across the Sumida River, featuring steel construction with decorative railings and elegant architectural elements from the 1920s.

Constructed in June 1927, the bridge represents post-Great Kanto Earthquake infrastructure improvements that modernized Tokyo's transportation network during the early 20th century.

The bridge stands near traditional landmarks like Senso-ji Temple, creating a link between the old merchant districts of Asakusa and the residential areas of Sumida.

Located within walking distance of Asakusa Station, the bridge accommodates both vehicle traffic and pedestrian paths, connecting to major cultural destinations.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government designated this structure as an architectural treasure, marking its significance among the 54 bridges in Sumida district.
