    Kouriohashi Bridge is a 1,960 meter-long bridge that links Kouri-shima (Kouri Island) with Yagaji-shima (Yagaji Island). Since the Bridge opened in 2005, it has become a very popular place to enjoy an exciting drive in which you seem almost to be driving across the sea itself. Driving over the bridge really is a very pleasant experience, as you get superb views of the emerald green ocean and can feel the sea breeze.

    Okinawa Pref. Nanjoushi Chinen Chinen
    This 1,200-meter bridge leads from Prefectural Road 86 to National Route 331. The name “Nirai Kanai” refers to the utopia beyond the horizon where the gods reside. The beautiful curve of the bridge makes it appear as if it’s floating in mid-air, and at its highest point is an observation deck above the tunnel that offers a spectacular view. The sight of the cobalt blue sea sparkling beneath the sun is sure to enchant you.

  • Kurima Bridge

    Okinawa Miyakojima-shi Shimoji
    This bridge connects the southwestern part of Miyako Island to the southeastern part of Kurima Island. The 1,690-meter-long bridge, which opened in 1995, is one of largest bridges ever built in Japan for the purpose of carrying a farm road. The bridge is open to pedestrians in addition to automobile traffic. The clear water below the bridge shifts across a spectrum of colors ranging from deep blue to emerald green throughout the day as the angle at which the sunlight strikes the water changes. In addition to a walkway, the bridge also features an observation area equipped with stools.
  • Sesoko Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunmotobuchou Sesoko
    This 762-meter bridge connects Sesokoshima Island and the main island. The sight of the white bridge between the blue sky and emerald green sea is breathtaking. The drive is pleasant, but walking is especially recommended, since you can take in the expanding sea and the various fish swimming about.

  • Ikei Ohashi Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Okinawa Pref. Urumashi Yonashiroikei
    Ikei Ohashi Bridge opened in 1982 and is immediately recognizable for its distinctive red arch. The 4.75-kilometer-long Mid-Sea Route, a popular driving route that runs across the sea, connects to three small islands from Okinawa’s main island. And adorning the final stretch is the gorgeous Ikei Ohashi Bridge linking to Ikei Island, the most outlying island. Enjoy your drive above the picturesque sea.

    Okinawa Pref. Urumashi Katsurenhama Higa
    This 1,430-meter-long bridge runs straight between Henza Island and Hamahiga Island. The crystal clear sea stretching toward the horizon is quite a sight to behold, so we recommend crossing on foot.

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
