The Nihonbashi Bridge, built in 1911, is a double-arched stone bridge modeled the Renaissance architecture.
That was designated as a cultural heritage of Japan in 1999.
The original made of wood was built in 1603, at the beginning of the Edo period.
The middle of the bridge has been the starting point of five main roads since then, including the Tokaido Road led to Kyoto.
Some of the Metropolitan Expressways in Tokyo were built on waterways at the sacrifice of the riverside scenery in 1960's. You can take shelter from the rain on this famous bridge, for it is completely covered with the expressway.
