Takanawakyou Kadoukyou 高輪橋架道橋 is a bridge featuring a tunnel beneath it, in which the tunnel is nicknamed Lantern Killer 提灯殺し.
The caption tunnel is located at the north of the JR Shinagawa station 品川駅. The tunnel's height limit is 1.5m, so only cars with height lower than 1.5m can use the tunnel.
Since there is no alternate routes for this tunnel, many taxi use this tunnel to cross the railroad. In early days, due to the height limit, many taxis lost their company lanterns on top of the car when using the tunnel, hence the name Lantern Killer 提灯殺し.
Since JR decided to build a new station between Shinagawa station 品川駅 and Tamachi station 田町駅 in Yamanote Line 山手線 before the 2020 Olympic year, the tunnel is in danger of being closed down.
The nearest train station is Sengakuji station 泉岳寺駅 of Toei Metro Asakusa Line 都営地下鉄浅草線 and Kyoukyuu Main Line 京急本線.
