Changing shades around the bridge
Opened in 1992, the 1,425 m bridge links Miyako and Ikema islands. Bright water surrounds the route, with views toward Nishi-Hennazaki and Ogami Island. Distant landforms add depth to the sea colors.
Open water surrounds the crossing, with different shades of blue along the route. The journey itself offers a succession of sea views.
Exploring the area
The crossing can be followed by a stop or walk on Ikema Island. Comparing the landscapes on either side makes the route more than a transfer, with time allowed for the return as well.
Before visiting
Designated places on the island sides suit scenic breaks. Local facility and traffic information helps with stops along the route.
