Ryujin Otsuribashi is a 375-meter-long pedestrian-only suspension bridge located in Ryujin Gorge, Hitachi-Ota City, Ibaraki Prefecture. Opened on April 28, 1994, it was once the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Japan. Perched approximately 100 meters above the dam lake, the bridge offers panoramic views of the Abukuma Highlands, the Yamizo mountain range, and the lush greenery of Ryujin Gorge. The vibrant autumn foliage during the fall season paints a particularly stunning picture.
Beyond the bridge lies a carillon facility, where beautiful melodies fill the air. Ryujin Otsuribashi also offers one of Japan's highest bungee jumping experiences. The dynamic jump from 100 meters provides an unforgettable thrill.
