Ohashi Bridge

Ohashi Bridge spans the Hirose River and connects Sendai Castle to its town below. In the Edo period (17-19c.), it was located slightly upstream of its current location, and you can still see traces of the old pillars on the river bottom.

Ohashi Bridge was repeatedly rebuilt after being washed away by floods, but in 1892, an iron bridge was installed at its present location. In 1938, the structure was replaced with the current concrete bridge.
