船小屋観光橋, Wooden floating bridge in Chikugo and Miyama, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

Funagoya Tourist Bridge is a wooden flow-through bridge over the Yabe River, linking Funagoya Onsen in Chikugo with Nakano-shima Park in Miyama. It is 59.5 m long, 1.2 m wide and 1.4 m above the water, with a deck tied to iron ropes so it floats in heavy rain. It rattles as people walk across, hence its nickname Gata-gata Bridge.

The bridge was built in 1963 (Showa 38) as a walking route linking Funagoya Onsen with Nakano-shima Park on the opposite bank. It is a wooden bridge straddling the border of Chikugo and Miyama cities. In heavy rain in 2007 (Heisei 19) it was swept away, and only the piers remain.
