Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Tsunoshima Bridge?

From JR Kottoi Station on the San'in Line, a local bus reaches the bridge area in about 25 minutes. In practice most visitors come by rental car, roughly 70 minutes from Shin-Shimonoseki Station.

What is Tsunoshima Bridge known for?

It is a 1,780-metre bridge opened in 2000 that crosses the green Amagaseto strait to Tsunoshima island, one of Japan's longest toll-free general-road bridges. It often appears in films and TV commercials, and the island has the granite Tsunoshima Lighthouse (1876), which you can climb for ¥300.

Is there a fee, and when is the best time to visit?

Crossing is free and the bridge is open all year. The water shows its clearest green colour on sunny days from late spring through summer; the Amagase Park viewpoint at the mainland end gives the standard photo angle.
