Katsutori Bridge (Katsudoki Bridge)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A historic structure in Chuo Ward completed in 1940 as a movable bridge spanning the Sumida River. It now serves as a fixed bridge, offering views of both the upstream and downstream directions of the Sumida River and the Tokyo Bay waterfront beyond. This bridge is on the direct route to Harumi Pier area, where you can confirm the direction of the fireworks launching site off Harumi Pier. From the Katsutori area beyond the bridge to Harumi, you can access on foot, making it an ideal walking course before heading to secure a viewing spot in the evening. Enjoy the autumn seaside scenery while walking along the riverside promenade.

Tips

About a 5-minute walk from Katsutori Station on the Toei Oedo Line. The bridge's walkway is wide and easy to traverse; however, on the evening of the fireworks festival, crowds heading to view the show increase, so it's safe to pass through early. From the bridge to Harumi Futon Park is about a 15-minute walk.

Best time to visit

Approximately 45 minutes required. Enjoy the view from the bridge during the time of day when afternoon light reflects on the river's surface.
