*''Built: [[1661]]''
*''Japanese'': 両国橋 ''(ryougoku bashi)''
Ryôgoku Bridge is a notable bridge over the [[Sumida River]] in eastern central [[Tokyo]]. First completed in [[1661]], it takes its name from the fact that it links two [[Provinces of Japan|provinces]] (''ryô goku''), namely, [[Musashi province|Musashi]] and [[Shimousa province]]s.
The Ryôgoku neighborhood has long been home to a number of [[sumo]] stables and arenas, and is today also home to the Kokugikan National Sumo Arena, the Japan Sword Museum, and the Sumida [[Hokusai]] Museum.
The section of river near the bridge have for centuries been the site of the [[Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival]].<ref>"Ryôgoku bashi kawabiraki no zu" 両国橋川開きの図. National Diet Library. JapanKnowledge Multimedia Library. NetAdvance, 2012. Online resource.</ref>
