Visit Report: Komagata Bridge

Komagata Bridge was completed in 1927 as part of the reconstruction efforts following the Great Kanto Earthquake.

This steel bridge combines upper-deck arch and middle-deck tied arch structures, connecting Taito and Sumida wards.

After sunset, the bridge is illuminated in blue, making its architectural beauty even more striking.

From the railings at the bridge's center, you can enjoy views of Tokyo Skytree and Azuma Bridge, which adds to its charm.

The area around Komagata Bridge features numerous illuminated bridges and nightscape spots perfect for evening strolls.

We highly recommend stopping by on your way back from sightseeing in Asakusa.
