The traditional Japanese bridge (pictured at the top of this page) and tea house were presented as a gift to the City of Wollongong from the City of Kawasaki in 1993 to mark the fifth anniversary of our Sister City relationship.

The shape of the bridge is called taiko-bashi (drum bridge) in Japanese. Look into the water from the top of the bridge over Middle Creek, and you’ll see its reflection form the circular shape of a drum.

The Kawasaki Bridge and Japanese Tea House are a short distance from the Duck Pond.

Access to the Bridge is not currently possible while repairs are undertaken.
