The Sakai Channel Bridge spans 709 meters across the water, connecting the cities of Sakaiminato and Matsue with its 40-meter-high structure.

The bridge opened in 1972 as a vital transportation link between Tottori and Shimane prefectures, marking a significant infrastructure development in the region.

The bridge earned the nickname 'Fish Bridge' through a community naming contest, reflecting the local fishing heritage of both connected port cities.

Since 2002, the bridge has offered free passage to vehicles and pedestrians, with dedicated walkways providing views of foreign ships and fishing vessels below.

The structure serves as a preferred location for local fishing enthusiasts who gather along its sides to catch fish from the Sakai Channel.
