Innoshima Ohashi Bridge
Innoshima Ohashi Bridge
Innoshima Ohashi (Bridge) is in Onomichi city, south eastern Hiroshima Prefecture. It is one of the longest in Japan, measuring in at 770 meters. When the bridge opened, it was a record-breaking size and was called "The number-one suspension bridge in eastern Asia".
Innoshima Ohashi connects Mukaishima and Innoshima. It is built with 2 stories, the top being a motorway while the bottom allows passage of pedestrians and bicycles. The bridge is popular for being a rare sample of an over-water passageway accessible by foot, and commands a liberating panorama of the Seto Inland Sea.
At the foot of the bridge is the Innoshima Bridge Memorial Park, built to commemorate the opening of Innoshima Ohashi Bridge. The park is a hidden scenic spot where you can view the bridge and Seto Inland Sea together from the spacious grass field. Inside the park, there is a store called "Innoshima Hassakuya", popular for Hassaku Daifuku (rice cake containing a type of orange) and "Kiku Mikan Mochi" (rice cake containing mandarin orange).
