Suisho Bridge

Overview

Suisho Bridge is a pedestrian-only bridge spanning the Dojima River in Osaka. Originally constructed in 1929 as the Dojima River movable weir, it significantly contributed to improving the river's water quality. In 1982, the bridge deck was renovated, and it was officially registered as a bridge, taking on its current form. There are various stories about the origin of its name; one suggests that the lights on the bridge reflecting on the water resemble the sparkle of crystals, while another says it was named with the wish for the prosperity of Osaka, the Water City. Suisho Bridge is beloved by many for its beautiful arch and the shimmering lights reflected in the water. The surrounding area boasts historical buildings such as the Osaka City Hall and the Osaka Central Public Hall, making it ideal for a leisurely walk. At night, it's illuminated, creating a magical atmosphere and offering a different charm from daytime. Experience Osaka's history while visiting Suisho Bridge.
