It is derived from the fact that it was built to the area called Eidaijima in the old days, but there is also a theory that it included the 50-year-old celebration of the 5th Shogun Tsunayoshi. In Culture 4 (1807), the bridge girder fell due to congestion toward the festival of Fukagawa Hachiman, and more than 1,500 people drowned. It is an important cultural property of the country.

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge 12 bridges on the Sumida River are now lit up.

A bridge built in 1964, when the Tokyo Olympics were held (1964), replacing Tsukuda's ferry. The Tsukuda River flowed between Tsukuda Island and Tsukishima, but it was reclaimed by the construction of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, and the two islands were connected to the ground. During the construction, the Tsukuda Bridge over the Tsukuda River was removed, and the completion of the bridge revealed that the ferry, which had been running for more than 300 years since the Edo period, disappeared.
A relief describing the origin of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is installed on the balustrade of the bridge. Over there is Okawabata River City.

In 1905 (1905), a “Kachidoki no Ferry” connecting Tsukiji and Tsukishima was set up to commemorate the fall of Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese War. It was named "Kachidokibashi" because of this ferry.

Kachidokibashi was completed in 1940 as the main gate of the World Exposition.
It was open three times a day, about 20 minutes at a time, making it possible for large ships to pass through. In addition, the Toden opened on December 24, 1947.


However, since 1964, when the Tokyo Olympics were held, the number of jumps has fallen below 100 times a year, and no longer jumps at the end of November 29, 1970.

Kachidokibashi is designated as a national important cultural property.
