Hihiri-bashi is a bridge across kanda-gawa(river).It was built in 1927.
Name of the bridge was decided by an open call participant.
"Hijiri-bashi( 聖橋 )" literally means "holy bridge" or "sacred bridge".

You present the holy bridge very well , especially in the second picture with the river and reflection in the water.
A little path of old times and nature finds its way through the modern city
Of course now I have to ask: why holy or sacred? Does it have something to do with the history of the area?
Thanks all!!
Hilda;
Because the bridge is between two holy places, "Yushima Seido" and "Tokyo Resurrection Cathedral".
Thank you so much for answering my question, Nobu. Now the name makes so much more sense :)
