Ryogoku Bridge is located just a short walk from the Ryogoku Kokugikan sumo stadium and JR Ryogoku Station.

From atop this approximately 170-meter-long bridge, you can admire Tokyo Skytree to the north and dramatic junction night scenes to the south.

The green-lit Yanagi Bridge visible to the west is also worth seeing.

Unfortunately, Ryogoku Bridge itself is not illuminated, but the views from the bridge are truly captivating, so be sure to stop by during your evening stroll around the Sumida River area.
