Kouri Bridge, Transportation bridge in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

The Kouri Bridge extends 1.96 kilometers across blue waters, connecting Yagaji Island to Kouri Island in the Okinawa archipelago.

The construction and inauguration of Kouri Bridge in February 2005 marked a significant advancement in connecting the remote islands of Okinawa Prefecture.

The bridge integration into Okinawa's landscape reflects Japan's commitment to infrastructure development while maintaining harmony with natural surroundings.

Pedestrians and vehicles can access Kouri Island throughout the year via this modern bridge, which features designated walkways for safety.

The structure spans entirely over ocean waters, creating an experience where travelers appear to float above the sea during their crossing.
