*''Japanese'': 松田橋 ''(Matsuda hashi)''
The Matsuda Bridge was a bridge in [[Naha]], [[Okinawa Island|Okinawa]] which connected the Nakamo and Izumisaki areas across the [[Kumoji River]].
The Nakamo side of the bridge was made up of sandbar, created from a land reclamation effort in [[1884]]. The bridge was rebuilt in stone in [[1888]], and was at that time named after Matsuda Michinobu, vice president of the bank that funded the construction.
In conjunction with a road expansion project in 1917, the stone bridge was torn down and was replaced with a wooden bridge, some 16 meters in length and five meters across.
The bridge was destroyed in the 10/10 air raid in 1944.
