Eitai Bridge was about 150 meters upstream from the location as of the Edo period. It is said to have been around 1698. At that time, it was painted in Ukiyo-e as a famous place with a good view on a large wooden bridge.
It is Japan's first road bridge made of steel. A tram was laid in 1904.
It was bridged with the 50-year-old celebration of the 5th Shogun Tsunayoshi. On August 19, 1807, the bridge collapsed due to congestion toward the festival of Fukagawa Hachiman, and more than 1,000 people drowning. There are so many stories about this accident. It is also known as a bridge that Ako Gishi crossed when he lifted from Kira's residence to Sengakuji Temple.
