A bridge that spans the Okawa River (formerly the Yodogawa River), passing over Nakanoshima's Kensaku. It is said that it was built around 1594, but the original bridge did not have a name and was called ``Shinbashi.'' Since the bridge was under the management of Tenjin Shrine in Tenma, it was later given the name ``Tenjin Bridge.'' In 1634, it was designated as Kogi Bridge along with 11 other bridges. Among them, it is affectionately known as the ``Three Great Bridges of Naniwa'' along with Tenmabashi Bridge and Namba Bridge, and a children's song sung, ``Tenjin Bridge is so long, it would be scary if it fell.'' It was also one of the bridges that played an important role in the early modern period, as it is said that when the Oshio Heihachiro Rebellion broke out, the shogunate was the first to destroy three major bridges, including Tenjin Bridge, in order to prevent the rebels. It was washed away in a major flood in 1929, and in 1932 it was replaced with a steel bridge, making it the longest road bridge in the country at the time. The current bridge was replaced in 1934 to accommodate the expansion of Matsuyamachisuji. It has a total length of 210.7m and consists of three light steel arches and concrete arches at both ends.
