Spanning the Higashi-Yokobori River, this is one of the oldest bridges dating back to the time of Hideyoshi. One theory is that the bridge's name comes from Kyuhoji Temple, which is said to have been located on the west side of the bridge, and the other is that it comes from the large number of people who moved here from Kyuhoji Village in Kawachi when the Dotonbori River was excavated in 1612 (Keicho 7). During the Edo period, the bridge was a wooden bridge approximately 42m long and 3.6m wide, and on the east side, bamboo and wood were traded at Zaimokuhama. The west side also leads to the center of Semba, and as it is close to Shinmachi and Dotonbori, it was bustling with haberdashers selling accessories and related craftsmen. Today, it is a 41.52m long, 12.50m wide, three-span (with two piers along the way) Gerber-type reinforced concrete bridge. The railings are a deep green color scheme, and the neatly designed lighting fixtures are eye-catching.
