Suirokaku is an aqueduct bridge over Lake Biwa Canal located in Nanzenji, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. The arch-shaped pier, which was completed in 1912 and made of red brick and granite, is a landmark that represents Kyoto's landscape, and is a popular spot for many women to take photos.
Suirokaku was built during the first phase of construction of Lake Biwa Canal to supply water for fire prevention to the Kyoto Imperial Palace. However, after completion, it was opened to the public and many tourists began to visit.

Suirokaku is designated as a national important cultural property as a symbol of Kyoto's history and modernization. Additionally, in 2015, it was registered as a Japanese Heritage Site as the "Lake Biwa Canal".
