The Seto Ohashi Bridge is a remarkable feat of engineering, connecting Honshu and Shikoku across the Seto Inland Sea. This impressive structure is the world's longest two-tiered bridge, accommodating both railway and road traffic. Located between Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, and Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture, it offers stunning views of the surrounding islands and sea. Visitors can appreciate the bridge from various vantage points, including the Seto Ohashi Memorial Park with its observation tower on the Sakaide side, or from Washuzan Hill for panoramic vistas. The best time to visit is during clear weather to fully enjoy the scenic beauty. Access is convenient via the Seto-Chuo Expressway, a short drive from the Kojima Interchange.
