Sanjō Ōhashi

]]Sanjō Ōhashi (三条大橋) is a bridge in Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It spans the Kamo River as part of Sanjō-dōri (三条大通り Third Avenue). It is well-known because it served as the ending location for both the Nakasendō and the Tōkaidō.

History

It is unclear when this bridge was first built, but there are records of Toyotomi Hideyoshi orders for it to be repaired in 1590, as well as one of the original giboshi (擬宝珠) (onion-shaped posts that are located on bridges, shrines and temples in Japan).

The current concrete bridge, which includes two lanes for driving and a walking path on either side, was built in 1950.

南側欄干の西詰から2つ目の擬宝珠に池田屋事件の時の刀傷があることで有名。橋のたもとのスターバックスとても雰囲気良さげですね。鴨川等間隔の法則もここからよく観測されます。
