Nihonbashi has been the starting point of traffic since the Edo period. Now the highway runs over Nihonbashi, but it will be removed in a few years and the sky will be visible above Nihonbashi. If you go through Nihonbashi on a cruise ship, you will find a relief of a giraffe in front of the bridge.

Nihonbashi Bridge holds its charm with its unique design and statues, offering a glimpse into history. However, the modern addition of an elevated road above it slightly diminishes the bridge's traditional beauty. While the bridge itself remains intriguing, the juxtaposition of old and new can evoke mixed feelings, as a symbol of heritage shares space with contemporary infrastructure.

This famous stone bridge is the birthplace of Tokyo. Built in 1603, the bridge was declared the starting point of 5 key routes across Japan.
Even today, seven national roads are measured from here. A metal plate in the road marks the exact spot where all distances are measured.
The bridge is decorated auspiciously with statues of mythical Kirin creatures.

The Nihonbashi bridge is a historic bridge. The original wooden bridge had burned down many times over the centuries, and fireproof granite was chosen for the latest reconstruction in 1911. It is one of only two surviving Meiji-era bridges in the city; the other being the Tokiwa bridge. Unfortunately, most people pass without noticing it.

The bridge was a terminus of both Nakasendo and Tokaido which ran between Kyoto and Tokyo during the Edo era. Today, the area is a center of commerce in Tokyo. It is located about ten minutes from Tokyo Station. The bridges had been made of wood before, it was replaced by this stone bridge. Here is a small sightseeing spot to learn the history of Japan.

Nihonbashi, as a district, sneaks up on you: there are some very nice scenic and upscale dining areas but local knowledge and fluency in Japanese is adventageous almost to the point of necessity. Neither, however, is required if you're simply checking out Nihonbashi Bridge, which I'd venture to say is the most important bridge in Japan's history. It's a five-minute walk from the Tokyo Station, so if you've got over an hour before your bullet train is fired, you can easily walk to the bridge and back. The original wooden bridge was built in 1603 and called the Edo Bridge (Edo-bashi). However a zero milestone was placed in the center of the bridge, and major roads to connecting Tokyo to the far corners of the country started here. Hence the name change to Nihon-bashi (Japan Bridge). A model of the old bridge is in the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Just over a century ago, the wooden bridge was replaced by a stone bridge in a Renaissance style, and decorated with bronze lions and dragons. The milestone itself was removed to a square beside the bridge in 1972, and a flat plaque laid into the bridge instead. In olden days the bridge commanded an impressive view of Fuji-san, but in anticipation of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the government built an expressway over Nihon-bashi, thoroughly ruining the view. They've another Tokyo Olympics coming up in 2020; hopefully the government has no plans to anticipate that one by any other nefarious plot against the bridge, such as dynamiting the old girl to Kingdom Come. Not worth going out of your way to see, but a pleasant relict of both the shogunate and Meiji periods, if you're in the neighborhood.

This is a business center, and expect people in corporate attire to be the main people you will see walking down the street. What is good about this area is that it is rarely crowded past the rush hour. The area is perfect for jogging, and the Imperial Palace running area is also near should you desire a change of scenery. There is an abundance of eateries and convenience stores in and out of the huge buildings that make up Nihonbashi, and Takashimaya as well as Mitsokoshi will surely satisfy the luxury shopper inside of you.

Beyond 11 PM when the stalls and shops are closed, the area is dead silent and you can be reassured of a great rest for your Tokyo adventure the following day.

And since this is the center of Tokyo, lots of attractions are but a train ride away.

The center point where all mileage points are set. Historically interesting. The road intersection at the bridge will lead to major cities in Japan just as it has for the last several centuries.
