Okamura Bridge

The Okamura Bridge extends 228 meters across the water, connecting Nakanoshima in Hiroshima Prefecture with Okamurajima in Ehime Prefecture at the prefectural border point.

The construction of this interprefectural connection marked the first bridge linking Hiroshima Prefecture and Ehime Prefecture, establishing a permanent connection between these regions.

The bridge stands among mandarin orange fields that display seasonal changes, from white spring blossoms to orange autumn fruits across the agricultural landscape.

Visitors can reach the bridge by taking a 30-minute high-speed boat from Takehara Port, followed by a 4-minute bus ride and a 6-minute walk from Toyonaka Junior High School.

The bridge features both vehicle lanes and a dedicated sidewalk, allowing pedestrians to cross between the prefectures while observing the Setouchi waters below.
