Japanese Bridge, Buddhist temple and covered bridge in Hội An, Vietnam.

The Japanese Bridge spans 18 meters across a tributary of Thu Bon River, featuring wooden architecture with brick pillars and traditional roof tiles.

Japanese merchants funded the construction of this bridge in the 17th century to connect their settlement with the Chinese quarter in Hội An.

The bridge includes a small temple dedicated to the North Emperor deity, with wooden dog and monkey statues at each entrance for protection.

The bridge operates daily from morning until evening, with entry tickets available at both sides of the structure within the Ancient Town complex.

The bridge appears on the Vietnamese 20,000 dong banknote and contains architectural elements from Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese building traditions.
