This bridge stretches from North to South and links the Tenma area of the Kita-ku and the Tenma area of the Chuo-ku. Along with the Nambabashi and Tenjimbashi bridges, it forms part of the “Naniwa Bridges Trio.” It was used mainly by civil servants for commuting to work. In 1885, it was washed away by floods, and was then rebuilt as an iron bridge.
