The Jodogahama Ohashi Bridge offers stunning panoramic views of Jodogahama and the surrounding coastline. Located on the Jodogahama Line (formerly a toll road, now free), the bridge provides an excellent vantage point to see Takonohama beach with its contrasting dark rocks, Hideshima island (a breeding ground for Leach's storm petrels), and the vast Pacific Ocean. A small parking area is available near the bridge on the Jodogahama side, or you can walk from the Third Parking area. Be aware that the sidewalk is only on the sea side of the bridge. It's a must-stop for breathtaking scenery en route to Jodogahama.
