Kyoto Sanjo-Ohashi is a bridge over the Kamo River in Sanjo Avenue in Kyoto City. This is the end of journey on both the Tokaido and Nakasendo Roads. To the west of the bridge stands the statue of Yaji-san and Kita-san of Juppensha Ikku’s “Tokaidochu Hizakurige,” or “The Shank's Mare.”

The time of the construction of this bridge is unknown, but a historical record shows that it was repaired by the order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The giboshi (a decoration in the shape of the onion-bulb jewel on top of the railings of a bridge) is thought to have been made at this repair work. The present bridge was constructed in 1950 and has tow traffic lanes and side walks.

The Sanjo-Ohashi together with the Kamo River is an indispensable landmark of Kyoto. A lot of passers-by stop here for a while to enjoy refreshing breeze from the river. As there are stations of the Keihan line and subway nearby, the area around bridge is always bustling with people who are heading for busy downtown streets such as Ponto-cho, Kiyamachi Street, Kawaramachi Avenue, Shin-Kyogoku Street and Teramachi Street.
