Kōrai Bridge, Arch bridge in Osaka, Japan
The Kōrai Bridge spans the Higashi-Yokoborigawa River with concrete arches, decorative railings, and traditional ornamental features measuring 62 meters in length.
Built in 1929, this structure replaced the first iron bridge in Osaka from 1870, which had materials imported from England during Japan's modernization period.
The bridge name originates from ancient diplomatic relations with Korea, as the area served as a reception point for Korean envoys during the feudal period.
Located four minutes on foot from Kitahama Station via exit 30, the bridge connects the banking district of North Hama with the commercial area of central Osaka.
The bridge served as the starting point for calculating distances across western Japan, marked by a milestone that determined road measurements during the Meiji period.
