The longest bridge in the world with both the road and railway.
Great Seto Bridge connects Okayama Prefecture on the main Island and Kagawa Prefecture on Shikoku Island. This name is for all the six bridges that stretch for 9.4km (5.8 miles) over the channel. Different types such as suspension bridge, cable-stayed bridge, and truss bridge are connected together. The greatest in scale in the world as both the road and railway bridge.
To take in the grand view of Great Seto Bridge, go to Yoshima Parking Area, which is near the center of Seto Chuo Expressway over the channel. From the observation platform, you can enjoy the fascinating view of the Seto Inland Sea and the Bridge. Also, the scenery is breath-taking from the Seto Ohashi Tower in the Seto Ohashi Memorial Park or from Okayama’s symbol, Mt. Washu’s highest point, “Shoshuho” Peak.
Of all the Great Seto Bridges, Kita-bisen Seto Ohashi offers a tour to the top with a reservation. Look over the Seto Inland Sea from the tower top 175m (574 feet) above the Sea.
Around weekends, the Bridge is illuminated for your romantic outing at night.

The Great Seto Bridge was even more spectacular than I imagined! The bridges span the Seto Inland Sea one after another. From a distance, they look like several massive bridges linked together, stretching to the other side of the sea. The view is truly breathtaking.
Standing by the bridge and looking at the massive structure against the sea, you realize how impressive the engineering is. You can also feel the bridge’s height and scale while driving across it, with views of the Seto Inland Sea along the way. The whole scene feels very grand.
The most unforgettable part of cycling along the Shimanami Kaido is crossing one bridge after another over the sea, with sweeping views of the deep blue water, scattered islands, and distant mountains along the way. This approximately 70-kilometer route connects Onomichi in Hiroshima Prefecture with Imabari in Ehime Prefecture, linking several islands in the Seto Inland Sea. Riding across the bridges with the sea breeze and expansive ocean views is a very special travel experience.
I won't hold back from sharing these beautiful photos with everyone! Because
it really was beautiful. Although the sunset was blocked, I still thought it was very beautiful, and I waited until the sun had completely set. I honestly think the sunset bus is a gift to humanity?
Hahahaha
When the weather's nice, the sea sparkles like it's covered in glitter. If you catch the sunset, the colors of the bridge and the ocean are just so romantic.
The Seto Inland Sea Memorial Park is also a fantastic spot to enjoy views of the Great Seto Bridge.
