国玉の大橋, Rigid frame bridge in Sakaiminato, Japan.

The Eshima Ohashi Bridge extends 1.7 kilometers across Lake Nakaumi, connecting Sakaiminato in Tottori Prefecture with Eshima in Shimane Prefecture.

The construction of this engineering structure took place between 1997 and 2004, replacing an older drawbridge that limited traffic to vehicles under 14 tons.

The bridge gained international recognition through a Daihatsu commercial that showcased its steep gradient, making it a subject of global media attention.

Visitors can reach the bridge by taking a train to Sakaiminato Station and walking for 30 minutes, with free telescopes available for viewing Lake Nakaumi.

The bridge features different gradients on each side, with 6.1 percent on the Shimane side and 5.1 percent on the Tottori side, creating an optical illusion.
