Gazing across from the Imperial Palace’s main entrance, you’ll see the elegant 水簾 Stone bridge. It’s a striking sight, especially knowing its history. During the Edo era, this bridge, known then as Nishinomaru-otemon Bridge or Nishinomaru-ngejobashi Bridge, held a certain prestige. Horseback riding across it was strictly forbidden. Interestingly, the 水簾 Stone is often mistakenly paired with the Nijubashi bridge next to it. Nijubashi means “double-layer bridge,” leading to this common misconception. The original 水簾 Stone bridge was a three-year project, completed in 1627. The bridge as we see it today was rebuilt in 1889. It stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and a link to Tokyo’s rich past.
