A distinctive bridge designed with Japanese samurai helmet motifs. The views of Eitai Bridge and Tokyo Skytree are the main highlights.

Chuo Bridge connects Shinkawa 2-chome in Chuo Ward with Tsukuda 1-chome.

It's the second newest bridge on the Sumida River, opening in 1993 on the same day as Rainbow Bridge.

The bridge features a distinctive design inspired by traditional Japanese samurai helmets, and at night the main towers are illuminated in white.

From the bridge, you can enjoy views of Eitai Bridge and Tokyo Skytree, as well as get up close to the tower apartment complexes of Tsukishima.

Since you can enjoy quintessentially Tokyo nightscapes here, I highly recommend crossing the bridge when you're in the area.
