Nihombashi Bridge

Original Nihombashi Bridge was built on Nihombashi River in 1603.
And it was determined as the starting point of the five main roads.

Current bridge was built in 1911.
There's a starting (zero) milestone on the road.
There's a replica on the sidewalk.

Currently 7 National highways start from here.

A highway goes over the bridge, so it looks bad.

Suspension Bridge in Kinuta Park

There's a suspension bridge at the North end of Kinuta Park.
Water stream runs under the bridge.

This bridge is surrounded by trees, too.
I don't know why it's not called Green Suspension Bridge.

Green Suspension Bridge

Green Suspension Bridge is in Otonashi Sakura Green Park.
I don't know why it's called Green Suspension Bridge.
Bridge itself is not green. Probably it's surrounded by trees.

There's a road with a narrow stream under the bridge.
This is one of a few suspension bridges in Metropolitan Tokyo.

Bridge Archives "Kachidoki"

Kachidoki Bridge used to be a drawbridge.
It opened once to 5 times a day when big vessels passing under.

Bridges opened up to 70 degrees and it took 70 seconds to open them completely.
They've been never opened since 1970 because of heavy ground traffic.

Bridge Archives "Kachidoki" is a museum to show history and mechanism of this bridge.

There're electronic motors and electronic panels as they were.
Videos and 1/100 scale model of the bridge help you to understand how it works.
