[2025 Onomichi Attraction] Travel Guide for Tatara Bridge (Updated Apr)

Tatara Bridge is a bridge that connects Ikuchijima (Hiroshima Prefecture) and Omishima (Ehime Prefecture) on the Shimanami Kaido. It is one of the most popular bridges on the Shimanami Kaido. There is a sign indicating the prefectural border on the bridge, which is a great photo spot! There is also a sign that says "Tatara Nakiryu" under the main tower, and if you hit it with a drumstick, the sound will reverberate into the sky, creating a mysterious experience.

📍Tatatara Bridge Tatatara Bridge, with a central span of 890 meters, was the world's longest cable-stayed bridge at the time of its completion.

#0yentravelJanuary2025 I went cycling around the Seto Inland Sea on a rental bicycle that was at a sort of information center on Ikuchijima If you ride along the Seto Inland Sea along the island, you can see lemon fields and art on the beach Then, if you continue along the Shimanami Kaido, you will come to a bridge that connects to Ehime Prefecture! Crossing this bridge will take you to Omishima It's exciting to cycle across prefectures I was strangely not that tired as I pedaled while looking at the calm Seto Inland Sea I felt great to be able to cycle along the Shimanami Kaido, which I had always wanted to do! —————————————————— 📍"Tatara Bridge" ※There are several places on Ikuchijima where you can rent bicycles #ShimanamiKaido #Ikuchijima
