It was originally operated by Itagawa in Kyobashi Ward (Nakarai Ward). For details on South Korea, see Yakagebashi Shimbashi History. This bridge was manufactured at the Akabane Plant of the Ministry of Engineering at the request of Tokyo Prefecture in 1878. At first, it was called "Masamashi Bridge", but it was renamed "Masamashi Bridge", because a new Amashi Bridge was built by the city block revision in 1931. Furthermore, it was abandoned due to the Teito Kikou plan after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and it was relocated to its current location in 1992. Since it was a rich and well-equipped eastern descent, it was named after Yawatabashi. It is one of the oldest existing iron bridges and is also famous for having a chrysanthemum crest.
