大島大橋, Suspension bridge in Ehime Prefecture, Japan
The Oshima Ohashi is a steel suspension bridge in Ehime Prefecture that spans over 560 meters of water. It connects Oshima Island with Mikishima and provides separate lanes for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians.
Construction finished in 1988 and replaced earlier ferry services between the islands. This modernized connections and made previously isolated communities easier to reach.
The bridge serves as the main road connecting Oshima Island to nearby communities, and cyclists and walkers regularly use the designated paths while driving across.
The bridge is open year-round for drivers, cyclists, and walkers without entry fees. The best way to explore it is on foot or by bicycle, with views of the sea particularly rewarding during your crossing.
From the bridge you can reach Michikajima, an uninhabited island with a free camping ground. This hidden natural retreat draws few visitors and offers genuine quiet away from crowds.
