❤ New year, new travels, wander through Yamaguchi Prefecture and behold the beauty of Tsunoshima! 🌟 Tsunoshima, an island off the coast of Shimonoseki City in Yamaguchi Prefecture, is connected to the mainland of Honshu by the Tsunoshima Bridge, which is the second longest toll-free bridge in Japan, taking 7 years to complete. 👍 The white bridge and the azure sea beneath it complement each other, creating a scene of beauty and elegance. Besides its scenic beauty, the Tsunoshima Bridge was also designed with a gentle heart in mind. The reason for its curvature and shape is to consider the surrounding natural environment, thus limiting the height of the bridge and deliberately bypassing the middle island of Hatomajima. ✅ Around the island to the southwest is the Tsunoshima Lighthouse Park. This first Western-style lighthouse on the Sea of Japan side was designed by the 'Father of Japanese Lighthouses,' British architect Richard Henry Brunton, and was built in 1876. For over a hundred years, it has illuminated the sea every night. The spiral staircase is steep and long, and climbing to the top of the lighthouse offers a panoramic view of Tsunoshima's landscape and the azure sea. Next to the lighthouse, the Lighthouse Memorial Hall, which was converted from the former dormitory of lighthouse staff, now displays the history of Tsunoshima and introduces distinctive lighthouses from all over Japan, recreating the room appearance of the former lighthouse keepers. 📍 Address: 2343-2 Tsunoshima, Toyotama-cho, Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. 🕙 Opening hours: From May to September 9:30～16:30, from October to April 9:00～16:00. 💰 Admission fee: 200 yen 🚉 Transportation: Take a bus from JR Tokuyama Station to Lighthouse Park Mae Station and walk for about 3 minutes.
