Shichijo Bridge, Reinforced concrete bridge in Kyoto, Japan.
The Shichijo Bridge extends 81.9 meters across the Kamo River with five spans and features detailed Art Nouveau styling on its balustrades and pillars.
Built between 1911 and 1913, the bridge represents the early adoption of reinforced concrete technology in Japan during the final years of the Meiji period.
The metal guardrails installed after World War II display patterns inspired by the Three Thousand Arrows tradition of the nearby Sanjusangendo Temple.
Located between Higashiyama and Shimogyo districts, the bridge serves as a primary connection point for pedestrians and vehicles crossing the Kamo River.
The structure withstood the devastating 1935 flood that destroyed other bridges, demonstrating the effectiveness of its flood mitigation design.
