[2025 Sakaide Attraction] Travel Guide for Seto Ohashi Bridge (Updated May)

The Marine Liner runs under the Great Seto Bridge heading towards Okayama ⇄ Takamatsu. From the train window you can see the small island of Nabeshima in Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture. The white building on Nabeshima is the Nabeshima Lighthouse. The chance and timing is short, but I think it's a memorable building to see from the train window. If I have time, I'd like to go. It's a lighthouse in such a beautiful landscape. #Kagawa #KagawaPrefecture #KagawaTrip #GreatSetoBridge #KitaBisanGreatSetoBridge #Okayama #KagawaTourism #Bridge #Lighthouse #ScenerywithLighthouse #Nabeshima #Sakai #Island #AmazingView #SummerWeekendTrip

#SetoOhashiBridge #SetoOhashiBridgeLine You can't stop at the Seto Ohashi Bridge to take pictures or look at it. This time I tried to look at the Seto Ohashi Bridge while riding the Seto Ohashi Bridge Line. The Seto Ohashi Bridge Line also passes over the Seto Ohashi Bridge, so it seems difficult to take pictures, but there is a point along the way where it curves, so I aimed to take pictures there. This train is the Rapid Marine Liner, which connects Okayama and Takamatsu, and if you make a reservation in advance, you can enjoy the panoramic seats in the front car (separate reserved seat fee required). The train I rode this time was a regular car for which no fee is charged, but the interior has reversible cross seats, so if you can secure a seat, it is very comfortable and a good train for taking pictures.

#0yentrip While driving on the Great Seto Bridge to see the night view on a trip to Okayama, we made a detour to an observation deck. We set the observation deck as our destination, but couldn't find a parking lot, so we felt a bit lost. But we finally reached the bridge, and the sunset we saw there was more beautiful than we'd imagined. The sun setting over the Seto Inland Sea and the silhouette of the bridge overlapped, creating a spectacular view that was hard to believe we'd encountered by chance. If only the monument was a little further to the left, we'd be able to see the spectacular view, but the view from the car was the most beautiful, so we went back and forth several times. Even if we can't reach our destination, we can come across beautiful views at unexpected times, and I realized that these moments are the best part of traveling.

Marugame is very close to Takamatsu. We took a two-day self-drive trip and checked in at most of the famous spots. The road conditions were good, and although it was New Year's, there were more cars than usual, but we could still find parking lots. The only downside was that most of the attractions were closed. 🗾 Itinerary Overview Day 1⃣️ 👣 Start your day with a bowl of udon for breakfast at a local udon restaurant. 🔍 Udon Iinoya, free parking available 💰 Approx.

"Seto Great Bridge" is the general name for the ten bridges across the Seto Inland Sea between Honshu (Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture) and Shikoku (Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture), Japan. It is also one of the three routes of the Honshu-Shikoku Bridge. 《Seto Ohashi Tower》 I accidentally discovered the 360-degree rotating observation tower at the foot of the Seto Ohashi Bridge and Seto Ohashi Memorial Park, the gateway to Shikoku. It is a disc-shaped observation deck similar to a UFO. It slowly rotates in about 10 minutes and rises to a height of 108 meters above the ground. You can enjoy the magnificent view of the Seto Ohashi Bridge. It is a great experience!

I took advantage of the long weekend in October to go to Shikoku. I got to Shikoku by plane, but made a point of going close to the Great Seto Bridge to get a glimpse of it. The Great Seto Bridge is the collective name for 10 bridges that connect Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, on Honshu, with Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture, on Shikoku, and there is also a facility nearby that exhibits the history of the bridge. #AutumnTravel
