Tsunoshima Bridge & Fukutoku Shrine

DETAILS

4^1/2
hrs Estimate Duration

OVERVIEW

Cross the incredibly photogenic bridge that connects Tsunoshima Island to the mainland and behold the beauty of a seaside park and a Shinto shrine farther down the coast. The sea surrounding the mile-long Tsunoshima Bridge is a shade of cobalt blue that is absolutely mesmerizing. In fact, the color is so startling that one of the island’s beaches is named Cobalt Blue. Even so, the best view of the sea may be from Sezaki Akari Park, a forested area that tends to draw visitors who value natural beauty. A panoramic drive will then bring you to Fukutoku Inari Shrine, which also overlooks the sea but from a clifftop. Revered for its grand vermilion torii gate and dozens of smaller torii gates leading to the sea, the shrine was founded in 1725. While many people visit for the fabulous views, others come to pray for good fortune and safe travels.
