- Kasumi Bridge
- From 1-17-1 Shinyamashita, Naka-ku to 15-1.
- Pratt Truss Bridge
- [Building] 1896 (Meiji 29)
[Re-relocated] 2013 (Heisei 25) - City-certified historic building "November 2013"
- [Initial production] Handy side
[Re-relocated (design)] Yokohama City, Oriental Consultants Co., Ltd.
[Re-relocated (construction/ superstructure)] Kita Nippon Machinery Co., Ltd. and Nippon Casting Co., Ltd.
[Re-relocated (construction / substructure / installation road)] Doshida Construction Co., Ltd. and Nakabachi Construction Co., Ltd. - It was bridged as the Sumida River Bridge in 1896 (Meiji 29), and was relocated to the Shin-Tsurumi Dockyard in 1929 (1929). It was also dismantled and relocated and reborn as the current Kasumi Bridge on March 21, 2013. The bridge is a transitional period from the British style to the U.S. style, and is valuable as the last English truss. In consideration of the distinctive appearance at the time of construction, the initial members are reused as much as possible. On the other hand, color planning and installation road planning are also carried out closely, and the landscape value is very high as a symbol of the region.

- Yoshino Bridge has a structural feature called a so-called "reconstruction bridge" in which a ramen-type abutment made of reinforced concrete and steel girders are built between the abutments, and its existence value is recognized as a characteristic bridge that plays a part in the history of Yokohama City Bridge. In Yokohama, due to the reclamation of rivers, only the Aratama Bridge remains as a "reconstruction bridge" in addition to Yoshino Bridge.

The three existing reinforced concrete arch bridges, Chojyabashi Bridge, Kasumi Bridge and Sakuramichi Bridges, and the only Chojyabashi Bridge that spans the river is a valuable bridge that plays a part in the history of bridges in Yokohama.
