Ōshiba Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Higashihiroshima, Japan

The Oshiba Bridge extends 470 meters across the Seto Inland Sea, connecting mainland Honshu with Oshiba Island through a double-harp steel cable system.

Engineers completed construction of the Oshiba Bridge in October 1997 at a cost of 3.3 billion yen, marking a milestone in Japanese bridge engineering.

The bridge provides access to Oshiba Island, where seasonal oyster houses serve fresh seafood harvested from the surrounding Seto Inland Sea waters.

Visitors can reach the bridge by taking the Geiyō Bus from JR Akitsu Station to Kuroji bus stop, followed by a 200-meter walk to the structure.

The bridge features asymmetric towers measuring 65.14 meters on the mainland side and 70.81 meters on the island side, with a navigation clearance of 18 meters.
