  • Tsunoshima-ohashi Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Yamaguchi Prefecture Shimonoseki City Shimonoseki
    A bridge connecting Shimonoseki City in Yamaguchi Prefecture to the island of Tsunoshima. The bridge is also one of the longest non-toll bridges connecting to an isolated island in Japan. The bridge stretching across the emerald green Amagase sea is lovely, and the area is a popular filming location for television shows and commercials. The expansive view, seemingly out of a country other than Japan, is visited by large numbers of tourists year-round. Note that photography is prohibited in the emergency parking zone in the center of the bridge.

    Yamaguchi Shimonoseki-shi Hohokucho Tsunoshima 2343-2
    The lighthouse was designed in 1876 as the first large lighthouse on the Sea of Japan side, and the view from the top of the narrow spiral staircase is spectacular, almost tropical. Many tourists enjoy driving along the Kakunoshima Ohashi Bridge with this lighthouse as their destination.

    角島に渡ってそのまま一気に島の西の端までやってきました。そこに立っているのが角島灯台です。明治９年につくられたという角島灯台は、高さがおよそ３０ｍもあります。その高い灯台のすぐ横に、角島灯台記念館がありました。 この灯台記念館は、職員の宿舎だった施設で、館内には、角島の歴史や日本各地にある灯台が紹介されており、また、灯台長の部屋なども復元されて見学することができました。

    Opened in 1996, the 153-meter-high Kaikyo Yume Tower is an important landmark of the Kanmon Straits. The Tower is the central building of the Yamaguchi International Trade & Cultural Center (also known as “Kaikyo Messe Shimonoseki”) in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. From the observatory, at a height of 143 meters, visitors can look down on the Kanmon Straits (between Honshu and Kyushu), and along the coast from Ganryu-jima Island across to Hibikinada on the Kyushu side of the Straits. The sight of the sun going down behind Hibikinada, and the nightscape, are very romantic, and the Tower is also illuminated at nighttime. The Kaikyo Yume Tower is renowned as a “Sanctuary for Lovers,” and couples account for many of the visitors to the Tower.

Heading west along Japan’s largest island, Honshu, the very last prefecture you’ll reach is Yamaguchi, separated from Kyushu by a small strip of water known as the Kanmon Straits, which the far-reaching harbor city Shimonoseki looks over. With water at every turn, the seafood of Yamaguchi is an indisputable highlight, and we’re not talking just the usual fish dishes - the notorious fugu, or puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy that was discovered in Yamaguchi prefecture, making it the best place to try it out.
