The blue sky, the long bridge, the water and the sand combine to form a stunningly beautiful picture. The bridge is simplistic in design and fits well into the environment. The water is clear, blue or green in colour. The beaches have not been commercialised. There are few visitors and the place is generally rather quiet. Do come here when you are in Miyakojima, spare half an hour and relax amidst the beautiful scenery. I was told by the locals that this is also an excellent place to come in night time to watch the stars.
Considered to be the longest toll-free bridge in Japan. Took 9 years to build, it was completed in 2015. It connected ‘the remote island’ Miyako Island to ‘the remote island of the remote island’ Irabu Island.
Best to hire a taxi to take you around the area. We were dropped off at the end of the long bridge for a photo op. From a distance, the bridge looks like a roller coaster track.
A must visit if you are in Miyakojima. Suggest take a taxi, they have fixed rates & will take you to points of your interest with varying charges for the number of people & duration for which you hire.
This is an unusual bridge with a couple of peaks and valleys - it looks like a giant serpent or dragon with its undulating causeway. It was finished in 2015 and connects Miyakojima to Irabu Island.
Irabu is well worth visiting for the bridge alone - the views are simply breathtaking! On a clear day you'll see out for miles, and the ocean is crystal clear and the views are just stunning. Worth pulling over to take it all in on the viewing platforms they've built into the ¥39.5 project.
This bridge is worth driving across. Beautiful ocean view on both sides as you drive across. We had a sunny day and I think it is important to do this on a sunny day to enjoy the colors of the ocean. Must do if you are in this area.
