Koshiki-Ōhashi Bridge, Bridge in Satsumasendai, Japan.

Koshiki-Ōhashi Bridge is a long roadway spanning across water to link two islands near Satsumasendai. It features viewing areas along its length where visitors can stop and take in the surrounding seascape.

The bridge was built to fulfill a long-held desire of island residents to improve connections with the mainland. It opened in the 2020s and replaced decades of planning efforts.

The bridge connects communities on islands that preserve geological formations dating back 80 million years, including ancient rock formations and cliffs.

The best way to experience the bridge is by driving or walking across it to reach the marked viewing areas. There is ample room to stop and observe, with accessible pathways throughout.

The bridge connects two islands by road where ferry service was the only option before. This new link has fundamentally changed daily life for the communities living there.
