Kushima Bridge

Kushima Bridge spans across the Seto Inland Sea and connects Oshima Island to mainland Japan with distinctive white pylons. The structure serves both vehicular and cycling traffic.

The bridge was built to improve connections between Oshima Island and the mainland and strengthen regional infrastructure. This development transformed transportation patterns in the area.

The bridge serves as a key connection on a popular cycling route linking several islands together. It has become a gathering point for cyclists who come to experience the journey between different parts of Japan.

The bridge is accessible by car or bicycle with rest areas at several points along the way. Weather conditions can change quickly due to the sea breeze, so it is good to check forecasts before visiting.

The bridge was specifically designed as part of an integrated cycling route connecting multiple islands across the Seto Inland Sea. This approach was unusual for its time and has become a model for regional travel.
