The bridge crosses the First Boat Basin of Mojiko Port and opens and closes six times a day to allow ships to pass. Watching the bridge rise dramatically to a 60-degree angle above the water is a sight not to be missed.

Set in a prime location with sweeping views of the Kanmon Straits and the Kanmon Bridge, the area is surrounded by popular attractions such as Mojiko Retro. In the evening, the bridge is illuminated from below, making it a lovely spot for a nighttime stroll while enjoying the waterfront scenery.

    If you visit Mojiko Port, be sure to check out Blue Wing Moji.
    This 108-meter-long blue bridge is Japan's only pedestrian-only drawbridge, and it opens six times a day to let boats pass. Watching the bridge slowly rise to about 60 degrees as boats pass through is truly unique and makes you want to keep taking photos!
    From the bridge, you can also see the impressive Kanmon Bridge in the distance and enjoy the sea breeze and views of the Kanmon Strait. The scenery is every bit as beautiful as the popular attractions. If you're lucky, you may catch the moment the bridge opens, which is truly breathtaking!
    When visiting Mojiko Port, don't forget to check the bridge opening times in advance. This unique sight can only be seen here and is definitely worth stopping to enjoy.
