The ruins of Mitsuhashi

Shiraoibashi 3-chome, Kyobashi, Chuo-ku to Ginza 1-chome
Shinpukuji Temple Bridge 1-chome Ginza-chome to 1-chome Shintomi, Chuo-ku
From here, about 30 meters north, until the end of the Meiji era, the Momiji River from northeast, the Kyobashi River from northwest, the Sakuragawa River flowing east, and the Sanjumabori flowing southwest crossed. Danjo Bridge near the intersection was built on the Kaede River, Shiraoi Bridge on the Kyobashi River, and Shinpukuji Temple on the Sanjumabori, and this Mitsuhashi was collectively referred to as Mitsuhashi.
Mitsuhashi has already been shown in Edosho, Bushu Toshima-gun, which is said to have been created in 1632 (1632), but there was no entry of the bridge name, and there were various changes to the bridge name to late Tokugawa shogunate.
Shinpukuji Temple Bridge at the end of the Meiji era and Shiraoi Bridge in 1959 were all abolished by reclaiming rivers, and Dansho Bridge became its current form in 1962 due to highway construction.

Dansho Bridge
It is written that the Dansho Bridge was old and was already over Kaede upstream during the Edo Kanei era, and it seems that the name was derived from the fact that Shimada Dansho Shosuke Yashiki was located in Kita Hatchobori. Danshobashi was introduced as "Mitsuhashi" in the Edo famous map picture because three bridges were built in U-shape along with Shinpukuji Temple Bridge and Shiraoi Bridge on the Horikawa intersection at that time, and one of the specialties in Edo It seems to have been.
It was often replaced afterwards, but was replaced in 1878 by the Ministry of Construction as Japan's first Japanese-made iron bridge. The bridge at that time is still preserved at 1-chome Tomioka, Koto-ku, designated as a national important cultural property in 1977, and in 1989 it received the honorary prize of the United States Society of Civil Engineers, increasing its historical value. I have.
The current bridge was rebuilt by the Reconstruction Bureau in December 1926, and is located slightly north of the conventional Dansho Bridge. After that, at the time of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, parks were built on both sides of the Dansho Bridge, and in February 1993, they were rebuilt as a relaxing bridge integrated with the park. The monument in the park was restored in 1878 by symbolizing the Dansho Bridge over Kaede River.

Iiji Riverbank (the back building is Kyobashi Plaza)
At present, the expressway extending from here to Nihonbashi was the former Kaede River, and the river joined the Kyobashi River and Sanjumabori earlier. It was called "Mitsuhashi" because there were three bridges on each river line: Dansho Bridge, Ushi no Kusabashi (Shiraoi Bridge), and Shinpukuji Temple Bridge. The Iji Riverbank is the name of the riverbank in the direction of Tsukiji, the east bank of Shinpukuji Temple Bridge, which spans one of the Mitsuhashi, Sanjumabori. In the late Edo period, there was the Shigakukan, one of the three major dojos in the Edo period, the swordsman Shunzo Momoi of Kagami Shinmei Tomoryu. In the Hiranoya version cut-out picture issued in 1853 (1853), the name can be confirmed at the southern end of the Tsukiji side on the Iji Riverbank.
