Kurima Bridge, Bridge structure in Miyakojima, Japan
The Kurima Bridge spans 1,690 meters across the strait between Miyako Island and Kurima Island, offering views of the changing water colors below.
The construction of Kurima Bridge in 1995 marked a new era for Kurima Island's 161 residents by establishing their first permanent connection to Miyako Island.
The bridge serves as a vital link between communities preserving traditional Ryukyuan customs across the Miyako Islands archipelago of Okinawa Prefecture.
Vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians can cross the bridge at any time, with the Kurima Ohashi Observatory providing an observation point for photography.
The shallow waters beneath the bridge create patterns of blue and green, while sea turtles frequently swim through the narrow strait.
