About
The Japanese Bridge, known in Vietnamese as Chùa Cầu, is a covered footbridge with a small temple built into it. It dates from the late 16th century, when Japanese merchants traded in Hội An, and has been renovated many times since. It is the most famous landmark in Hội An and the emblem of the old town's mixed heritage. Its name in Vietnamese means Buddhist Temple Bridge, after the shrine built into its structure.
Best time to go: Cross it early in the morning before the crowds, or see it lit up at night.
