Chua Cau is an ancient bridge in the ancient town of Hoi An, Quang Nam province, Vietnam. The bridge is also called Japanese Bridge or Lai Vien Kieu. This bridge was built by Japanese merchants around the 17th century, so it is sometimes called the Japanese bridge. According to legend, the temple is considered a sword stabbed into the back of the monster Namazu, preventing it from swinging its tail, causing earthquakes. After that, people built an additional pagoda, connected to the northern railing, protruding in the middle of the bridge, from which the locals called it Cau Pagoda.

In 1719, Lord Nguyen Phuc Chu visited Hoi An and named the bridge Lai Vien Kieu, meaning "Bridge to welcome guests from afar". According to the date recorded on the roof beam and the stele left at the beginning of the bridge, the bridge was rebuilt in 1817. The pagoda was probably also rebuilt at this time.

The pagoda was restored in 1817, 1865, 1915, 1986 and gradually lost its Japanese architectural elements, replacing them with Vietnamese and Chinese-style architecture.

On February 17, 1990, Covered Bridge was granted the title of National Historical - Cultural Monument. Currently, the Covered Bridge is being eroded by the stinky wastewater channel below the bridge and is at risk of sinking.
