Niju-bashi Bridge,the Imperial Palace

Kakumon Bridge spanning the inner moat (Nijubashi Moat) is said to have been built during the Kansei Period (1789-1801). During the Edo and Meiji Periods, the bridge in the foreground was called Nishinomaru Ote-bashi and the one behind it Nishinomaru Shimojo-bashi. The names currently used by the Imperial House Agency are Imperial Palace Main Gate Stone Bridge and Imperial Palace Main Gate Iron Bridge, respectively. Since 1948, commoners have been allowed to cross these bridges on January 2 and on the Emperor's birthday.

The Imperial Palace

Nishinomaru Ote Bridge and Nishinomaru Shimojo Bridge seen from Nishinomaru Shita (present-day Imperial Palace Outer Garden). Nishinomaru Shimojo Bridge featured rare two-stage girders because of a deep moat. Thus, it was called Niju-bashi (double level bridge). The gate on the left is Nishinomaru Ote-mon. The gate on the right is Nishinomaru Shoinmae-mon. Next to it are Jurokken Tamon and Fushimi watchtower.

Niju-bashi Bridge,the Imperial Palace

Ote Bridge of Nishinomaru (foreground) was replaced with an arched stone bridge in 1887. Although it is hidden behind the stone bridge, Nishinomaru Shimojo-bashi was replaced with an iron bridge in October 1888 at the time of the construction of new palace buildings. Ornamental lamps were installed for the first time here. (One of these is preserved at the Meiji Village theme park). The present-day Nishinomaru Shimojo-bashi Bridge was rebuilt in a similar design in 1964. The watchtower on the right was transferred from Fushimi Castle in Kyoto and re-named Fushimi Yagura.
