Japanese Covered Bridge

The Japanese Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Hoi An and is frequently used as the city's emblem. This stunning bridge was initially built in the 1590s by the Japanese community to link it with the Chinese quarters. This 18-meter-long bridge has been in existence for four centuries.

This bridge, built in the 16th century, connects the Chinese commercial community on the east bank of the canal with the Japanese community on the west side. It is located at the western corner of Tran Phu Street. It has been rebuilt a few times since it was first built, but it still has its own characters as well as impressive Japanese elements. Weathered statues of a pair of dogs on one side and a pair of monkeys on the other side of this bridge's entrances serve as guardians. While getting to this bridge is free, you might have to pay a tick to visit the temple that was built on the northern side of the bridge.
