The Great Seto Bridge, one of the world’s largest bridges connecting Honshu and Shikoku, is one of the bridges that directly connects Okayama Prefecture and Kagawa Prefecture. It was the first of the three bridges to open on April 10, 1988. It is a road and rail bridge that spans the middle of the Seto Inland Sea, which is lined with many islands. The route is 37.3 km long for roads and 32.4 km for rails, and consists of six bridges spanning 9.4 km of the straits. The sight of the world’s largest bridges, including suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and truss bridges, lined up together is spectacular. Every Saturday and on certain days, the bridges are lit up from sunset, allowing you to enjoy an elegant and romantic atmosphere.
