Kushimoto Ohashi Bridge
くしもと大橋
A ring-shaped bridge linking Honshu and Kii Ōshima, with views of Hashikui-iwa and Ōshima Port from the road. It is the signature drive into Kushimoto.
Kushimoto Ōhashi Bridge opened in 1999. It consists of an arch bridge crossing via Miga Island and ring-shaped approach roads, ending the era when Kii Ōshima could only be reached by ferry. When driving the ring-shaped approach, you can look down on Ōshima Port and, in the distance, Hashikui-iwa. On the Miga Island side there is a small parking area where you can stop for photos. Passage is free, and you can also cross on foot. It is the route to Kashinozaki Lighthouse, Umi-kongo and the Turkish Memorial Museum, and the sunset and night lights are photogenic too.
