"Kyobashi" was an important bridge on the Tokaido along with Nihonbashi, but it has been removed and is now gone. At present, "Kyobashi's main pillar" is left in Hashizume as a cultural property of the Chuo Ward, so you may feel nostalgic for its features. However, there were other remains of Kyobashi. Do you know that there is "Kyobashi" in such a place?
First of all, it is located in Hibiya Park. There is no bridge name on the balustrade column of Kyobashi, but since it has giboshi, you can easily see it. It was a bridge in 1875 (1875) because it was a bridge. There is a groove hole connected to the left and right (above photo). There are several other relics in Hibiya Park that tell the history, so it's fun to look for and walk.
At present, there are two main pillars engraved with the name of the bridge for the Meiji era rehabilitation at the site of Kyobashi of the Honke. Kanji notation is on the east side of Kitazume in front of the Police Museum, and the pseudonym notation is on the west side of Minamizume, beside Ginza 1-chome police box.
Next is the Shinjuku Gyoen Shinjuku Gate, located on the site of the former Michino Information Center, which has already been closed. This was built in 1922 (1922) and is the main pillar of Kyobashi, which has lighting equipment (bottom photo). You can't enter the premises, so you have to look from the outside, but you can clearly read the names of the bridges of "Kyobashi" and "Kyobashi".
At the site of Kyobashi, the same main pillar of the Taisho era is left on the east side of Minamizume, but it is a modern design with lighting installed at the top. It is well known that the Ginza 1-chome police box, which stands on the west side of Minamizume on the other side, is symmetrically built to imitate the main pillar design of the Taisho era, and is inspired by the Ginza brick street.
On the site of the Michino Information Center in Shinjuku, the main pillar of Shimbashi remains. Currently, it is the same main pillar as on the Minato-ku side of Ginza 8-chome. In addition, there is a reproduction of the road marking plate of Nihonbashi.
