A roadside rest/viewing spot beneath the Kurushima Kaikyō Third Bridge offering sweeping compositions of the cable-stayed span, fast tidal currents and shipping lanes of the Seto Inland Sea. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm light and at night for bridge illumination. Easily reached by car or bicycle on the Shimanami Kaido; free parking and no entry fee. Weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds. Wind can be strong—dress layered.
