Completed in 1928, Kototoi Bridge connects the vibrant neighborhood of Asakusa with Mukojima across the Sumida River. While it serves as a scenic crossing point with impressive vistas of the Tokyo Skytree, it also carries profound historical significance as the site of a tragic tragedy during the March 10, 1945 air raids. Keen-eyed visitors can still spot somber, indelible marks on the bridge's stone pillars that quietly memorialize the horrors of World War II. A stroll across Kototoibashi offers a deeply reflective blend of historic remembrance and classic Tokyo riverside atmosphere.
