児島湾大橋

The Kojima-Wan Ohashi Bridge spans across the Seto Inland Sea, connecting the city of Kurashiki on Honshu with five islands leading to Sakaide on Shikoku.

Engineers completed the construction of this infrastructure project in the late 1980s after ten years of continuous work, marking a milestone in Japanese bridge engineering.

The bridge links two regions with distinct identities: Kojima, the birthplace of Japanese denim production, and Sakaide, home to significant temples of the Shikoku pilgrimage route.

Visitors can access the bridge structure through local trains from Okayama Station to Kojima Station, with regular bus services operating near observation points.

The bridge incorporates both railway tracks on its lower level and highway lanes on its upper deck, facilitating dual transportation modes across the Seto Inland Sea.
