Seto Bridge (瀬戸大橋) Memorial Park and Yohima - Scenic Drive Over the Sea

An all-day drive course dedicated entirely to the Seto Bridge, savoring the exhilaration of driving over the sea. In the morning, leisurely stroll through Seto Bridge Memorial Park at the base of the bridge, then ascend the rotating Seto Bridge Tower for a bird's-eye view of one of the world's longest railroad-and-highway combined bridges. Sandwiched between a visit to the museum where Higashiyama Kaii's masterpieces and Taniguchi architecture resonate with the sea, and a beach walk on Shami Island with its Man'yōshū heritage, the finale is a drive over the sea on the Seto Chuo Expressway. Descending at the Yohima Parking Area midway across the bridge, a panorama of the massive bridge piers looming overhead and the beautiful multi-island vista of the Seto Inland Sea awaits. View the bridge from above, see it from below, and cross it yourself at the helm. It's a day that stirs the heart of any transportation enthusiast.
