About

Suisho-bashi ("crystal bridge") was built in 1929 as the Dojima River movable weir, which raised water levels to push fresh water through Osaka's canals and improve water quality. It was refurbished as a pedestrian bridge in 1982 and is now officially a bridge. Its four low concrete arches, retro lamp posts and stone balustrades make it one of the most photogenic spots on Nakanoshima, especially when the lamps are lit in the evening and reflected in the river.

Tips

Shoot from the Dojima riverside steps for the arches and their reflections.
Go at dusk when the lamps come on.
Pedestrians only: a calm crossing between Kitashinchi side and Nakanoshima.
