■ GODA BRIDGE Koinobori Parade ~The Bridge of Japan Connecting Thoughts~ Event Overview
When we solicited donations of outdoor carp streamers that were no longer being used and were sleeping in homes, mainly from the local Ibaraki City, we received more than 300 carp streamers donated to our facility.
By hoisting these memorable carp streamers, which were once raised at home to celebrate the growth of children, on the GODA BRIDGE, which boasts the longest length in Japan as a pedestrian suspension bridge over the Ai River Dam, we hope it will become a new seasonal tradition in Ibaraki City as a symbol to celebrate the growth of local children. Please take a look at them swimming leisurely in the sky, riding the wind blowing from the satoyama (woodlands) of Ibarakita towards the city area.
Also, during the Golden Week period from Wednesday, April 29 to Wednesday, May 6, the first 2,000 children up to elementary school age who make a round trip across the bridge will receive a "Japan's Best Suspension Bridge Conquest Commemorative Sticker".
Event period: Wednesday, April 1, 2026 to Wednesday, May 6, 2026
