The full view of Tsunoshima Bridge

Stretching across emerald-blue waters, Tsunoshima Bridge connects the mainland of Yamaguchi Prefecture to the small island of Tsunoshima.

Unlike many famous bridges, this one feels surprisingly close to the sea. With no toll gates and no skyscrapers in sight, the road gently curves above the waves, offering drivers and pedestrians an uninterrupted view of the ocean.

The experience is not just about reaching the island—it is about the journey itself. The changing color of the water, the rhythm of the waves below, and the quiet anticipation as the island slowly draws nearer make this bridge unforgettable.

Tsunoshima Bridge is not simply a road. It is one of those rare places where travel becomes a memory long before the destination.

角島大橋は、山口県の本土と角島を結ぶ、全長約1,780メートルの橋です。
エメラルドグリーンの海の上を、ゆるやかにカーブしながら延びるその姿は、日本でも屈指の絶景として知られています。

この橋の魅力は、海との距離の近さにあります。料金所もなく、高い建物もありません。視界を遮るものがほとんどないため、走りながら海の色や波の表情をそのまま感じることができます。

角島大橋は、単なる移動手段ではありません。
島へ向かうその時間そのものが、風景とともに記憶に残る――そんな特別な道です。
