As an island nation, bridges play a vital part of Japan's infrastructure. Of these bridges, the Seto Ohashi Bridge in Kojima, Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture is certainly among the most beautiful. Spanning the length of the Inland Sea, this bridge connects Honshu and Shikoku in style. The bridge and the inland sea can be best be viewed from Washuzan Mountain in Kurashiki city, Okayama Prefecture. Though the trip may be out of the way for many people, the views are definitely worth it.

Amazingly gorgeous mix of nature and man-made things. I especially liked the views of the bridge from the water! Thanks.

Beautiful photos, and your work experience there explains how you got so many different angles of the bridge. Since you were there for a year, would you know what the bridge is like when not lit up? Considering going during sunset on a Sunday but am worried that we would be disappointed from the journey out from Kurashiki.
Paul and Susan, thank you!
Telloyd, thankfully it didn't take that long! I worked in the city just next to this bridge for a year, and rode my bike by here every day. So these shots were taken over a longer period of time :)

Leslie: Great photos! You must have spent the best part of the afternoon there waiting for those evening shots.
