A report on an early visit to 'GRAVITATE OSAKA,' where you can walk across Japan's longest suspension bridge at 420 meters and bungee jump.

The Aigawa Dam has been constructed in the northern part of Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture, and Dam Park Ibakita has been developed around it, where visitors can enjoy water activities and BBQs. Dam Park Ibakita is home to Japan's longest suspension bridge, GODA BRIDGE , and GRAVITATE OSAKA , an activity park where visitors can walk across GODA BRIDGE and bungee jump from the bridge girders, is scheduled to open on Monday, March 17, 2025. A pre-opening event was held, allowing visitors to enter GRAVITATE OSAKA early, so I went to check it out.

Below is the construction plan for Dam Park Ibakita. The 'Private Suspension Bridge Area' in the upper right is the newly opened GRAVITATE OSAKA.

Here's the location of GRAVITATE OSAKA on Google Maps. It's located in an area surrounded by the Aigawa Dam lake.


So, we arrived at the parking lot of Dam Park Ibakita.

The main towers supporting GODA BRIDGE can be seen from the parking lot. The height of the main towers on the right bank is 60m, and on the left bank it is 12m.

The parking lot also has space for motorcycles.

This is the park center (management building) of Dam Park Ibakita.

There is a bicycle parking area outside the park center.

There was also a bicycle stand that you could hang the saddle on.

Inside the park center, I found an aerial photo of Dam Park Ibakita.

The suspension bridge in the area surrounded by a red frame is GODA BRIDGE, and the surrounding area is GRAVITATE OSAKA.

Head towards GODA BRIDGE. Use the main tower in the distance as a landmark to find your way there.

The entrance gate to GODA BRIDGE is in sight. Dam Park Ibakita itself is a free facility to use, but you need to pay an admission fee to enter GODA BRIDGE. The basic price for a one-day pass is 550 yen for elementary school students and above, and free for children under elementary school age. Added 10/03/2025: As of October 1, 2025

, admission alone will be free .

I took a photo of GODA BRIDGE from a different angle. There are stairs set at an angle towards the main tower, and you can enjoy 'Bridge Climb' by climbing the stairs.

When we entered GRAVITATE OSAKA, preparations for the opening ceremony were underway.

At the opening ceremony, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held by Ibaraki City Mayor Yoichi Fukuoka, David Scott, CEO of

Gravity Park Holdings , which operates GRAVITATE OSAKA, and Junichi Goda, Chairman of Goda Co., Ltd. , which holds the naming rights to GODA BRIDGE.

I took lots of photos of the exterior of GODA BRIDGE, so I plan to publish a report on it later.
