    "The collective term for the seven bridges connecting Kure City and the islands of the Aki Sea in Hiroshima Prefecture. ""Tobishima"" is derived from ""tobi-ishi"", meaning ""stepping stones,"" due to the islands' appearance resembling the stepping stones of a garden. The official name for the bridges is the ""Aki Sea Archipelago Connecting Bridges."" All of the bridges are free to cross except for the first bridge connecting to the mainland. Each of the islands has its own charm - Shimo-kamagari Island has many historic sites; Osaki-Shimojima Island is the location of Mitarai, a designated Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings; on Kami-kamagari Island, you can enjoy the beach and marine sports. The bridges and connecting roads are also perfect for cycling and, with few hills, are easy even for beginners to tackle."

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
