This bridge crosses the Okawa River (formerly the Yodo River) over Nakanoshima's "Kensaki." It's said to have been built around 1594, but it originally had no name and was called "Shinbashi." Because it was under the management of Tenma Shrine, it later acquired the name "Tenjinbashi." In 1634, along with 11 other bridges, it was designated as a government bridge. Along with Tenmabashi and Naniwabashi, it's affectionately known as one of the "Three Great Bridges of Naniwa," and even features in a children's song, "Tenjinbashi is so long! It'd be terrifying if it fell off." It was also one of the bridges that played an important role in the early modern period, as evidenced by the story of how, during the Oshio Heihachiro Rebellion, the shogunate quickly demolished the three great bridges, including Tenjinbashi, to prevent the rebels from entering. It was washed away in a major flood in 1929, and was replaced with an iron bridge in 1932, making it the longest span road bridge in the country at the time. The current bridge was rebuilt in 1934 to coincide with the expansion of Matsuyamachi-suji. It is 210.7m long and consists of three lightweight steel arches and concrete arches at both ends.
