● Shin-ohashi Bridge is the third oldest bridge in the Sumida River after Senjuohashi and Ryogoku Bridge, which is the third oldest bridge. It connects 2-chome Nihonbashihama-cho, Chuo-ku and 1-chome, Shin-Ohashi, Koto-ku.
● There are two types of name "Shinohashi": the theory that Senjuohashi is "new" and the theory that it is "new" based on the old name of Ryogoku Bridge (Ohashi).
● It was first built in 1693 (1693), and in 178 years until it became a wooden bridge in 1871, it was damaged, washed away, and burned more than 20 times. It is said that fire prevention and flood control were obligated as bridges maintained by townspeople in 1744 (1744).
