Sobre este lugar: Puente Kurushima-Kaikyo
El puente Kurushima-Kaikyo es un triple puente colgante (total 4.105 m) sobre el estrecho de Kurushima. Icono de la Shimanami Kaido, fue el primer triple colgante del mundo. Corrientes rápidas bajo el puente y tramos enormes crean la escena más dramática del Mar Interior.
Aspectos destacados
- Three-section suspension structure — a world-first sequence of First, Second, and Third bridges, totaling 4,105 m and slicing across the strait in a straight line
- View from Mt. Kiro Observatory — at 307 m, a 360° panorama of the entire bridge, the strait, and surrounding islands; spectacular at sunset
- Itoyama Park (Imabari side) — a park beside the bridge's foot, where the slanting late-day light and the shimmering surface combine beautifully
- Cycling deck — a 6.5 km cycling path on top of the bridge, riding 70 m above the sea — the symbol of the Shimanami Kaido route
- Fast strait currents — up to 10 knots beneath the bridge, with whitecaps and eddies that animate the shot
