Kōraibashi

Kōraibashi (高麗橋, lit. "Goryeo Bridge") is a bridge located in Chūō-ku in the city of Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. It crosses over the Higashi Yokobori River and shares its name with the surrounding area.

Naming

The area received the name of "Kōrai" during the Asuka or Nara period, when ancient Japan was in close contact with kingdoms on the Korean Peninsula. The envoy to Korea was called komanomuratsumi (高麗館) and when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was dividing up the areas within Osaka, he chose those same kanji.
