Ebisu Bridge, Historic bridge in Dotonbori, Osaka, Japan

Ebisu Bridge is a beam bridge that crosses the Dotonbori River in Osaka, joining the Namba district to the Dotonbori entertainment area. Its structure allows pedestrians clear passage while overlooking the riverway and surrounding commercial spaces.

Ebisu Bridge was first built as a wooden bridge when the Dotonbori River was cut in 1615. As a town-managed bridge, it was repaired or rebuilt 13 times before a steel bridge replaced it in 1878. A steel-reinforced concrete arch bridge followed in 1925, and the present 26 m span, built by Kōnokegumi, was completed in 2007.

The name most likely comes from the bridge's position on the approach to Imamiya Ebisu Shrine, a shrine founded around 600; a rival theory cites the distribution of shrine tags from Nishinomiya Shrine. Locals also call it Nampa-bashi, for the men who approach women there. The Glico sign stands at its southwest end.

The bridge links Shinsaibashi-suji shopping street on the north bank with Ebisu-suji on the south, and a slope leads down from the riverbank to the Tombori River Walk below. The deck's centre is a circular plaza. Nearby subway stations are Namba and Shinsaibashi on the Midosuji Line.

The bridge's nickname "Nampa-bashi" comes from its long use as a place where young men approached women; it was also called "hikkake-bashi". Since 1985, fans have jumped from the railing into the Dotonbori River after Hanshin Tigers victories, despite a drop of about 6 m and a fence installed in 2005.
