Cyclists travel through the bicycle path surrounded by bridge members.
Please be careful of motorcyclists
because they ride in the same path as bicycles.
Completed in 1991 as the 5th bridge of the Shimanami Kaido.
At the time of its completion, it was the largest cable-stayed bridge in the world.
Try out the experience of clapping wooden clappers beneath the bridge's main tower while facing the sky to hear the flutter echoes ("dragon's roar") that come back.
On the Ikuchi Island side is a rest spot with a view overlooking Tatara Bridge. Tatara Bridge was opened to traffic in 1999, and until 2008 was the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world!
Among the series of bridges connecting Honshu and Shikoku, Ohmishima Bridge is the only arch bridge.
Beneath the bridge is the strait Hanaguriseto, known for its rapid tidal currents. The Setonaikai National Park is a beautiful scenic spot designated as a class 2 special area.
Michika Island, which is below the Ohshima (Ōshima) Bridge, is a hidden gem, a park where visitors can even go camping.
Michika island can only be accessed by bicycle, electric bicycle, or by walking.
On the Kurushima-Kaikyo Bridges, there is an elevator for going down onto Umashima Island.
There are 2 rest areas on the Kurushima-Kaikyo Bridges. They extend out on the ocean side so that the outside of the bridge can be seen.
