御成橋

The Eshima Ohashi Bridge extends 1.7 kilometers across Lake Nakaumi, featuring a gradient of 6.1 percent on one side and 5.1 percent on the other side.

The construction of Eshima Ohashi Bridge started in 1997 and concluded in 2004, replacing a previous drawbridge that limited traffic flow with frequent interruptions.

The bridge gained recognition through its appearance in a Daihatsu automobile commercial, leading to increased interest from photographers and automotive enthusiasts.

Visitors can reach the bridge by taking a train to Sakaiminato Station, followed by a thirty-minute walk along designated pedestrian paths.

The bridge reaches a height of 44.7 meters and holds the distinction of being Japan's largest rigid-frame bridge and the third largest of its type worldwide.
