Kouri Bridge
A nearly 2,000 meter bridge which connects Yagaji jima and Kouri jima offers the stunning views of the emerald green ocean. Kouri bridge is the longest toll free bridge with a span of 1,960 meters in Japan featuring the spectacular ocean views which will dazzle your eyes as you cross the bridge.

Kouri Island has a circumference of about 8 kilometers, and it takes about 10 minutes to completely go around the island following the coastal road. In the summer, you can enjoy activities like swimming and snorkeling at a variety of locations including: Kouri Beach which is located at the foot of Kouri Bridge, Tinu Beach, famed for its Heart Rock and Tokei Beach which features a giant’s kettle (a circular cavity in large rocks on the beach). Additionally, you can enjoy a view of Kouri Bridge from the observation deck at Kouri Ocean Tower which stands 82 meters above sea level.

During certain times of the year, it is also possible to observe how pineapples are peeled, cut and canned in a small factory on site.
