In this neighborhood the Namazuegawa
river ran parallel with the Neyagawa river.
The bridge crossed over the river and
was in the course of the Kyokaido Road, so
it was regarded as important. In the Edo
era it was designated as one of 12 official
bridges of the shogunate together with the
Bizenjima bridge, located down the river
and with the Kyobashi bridge, located at
the north front of Osaka Castle and the starting
point of the Kyokaido Road.
This bridge lasted until the Namazue
river was reclaimed in the first years of
Showa.
