Across the centuries, the Nagahoribashi Bridge has witnessed Osaka’s transformation. Nagahoribashi Bridge was the first bridge built over the Nagahori River. Its construction in 1625 connected the Higashiyokobori and Kizugawa Rivers. This vital link, along with Shinsaibashi and Shinanobashi, became essential to Osaka’s growth. The Edo Shogunate managed both Nagahoribashi and Shinsaibashi as Kogi Bridges, demonstrating their importance. During the Edo period, the Nagahori River, approximately 2,500 meters long and 30 to 40 meters wide, was a prominent feature of the city. Osaka boasted so many bridges it was nicknamed “Naniwa Eight Hundred Bridges.” However, the Meiji period brought land reclamation. Many bridges, including most of those spanning the Nagahori River, disappeared. Nagahoribashi Bridge itself was eventually lost. Today, only a monument marks its location near its namesake subway station. This monument serves as a quiet reminder of Nagahoribashi Bridge’s significant contribution to Osaka’s development.
