Most of the time, it's necessary to puff up a few slopes to get up to the level of the bridge that you'll be crossing. Luckily, the inclines are very gradual, and the routes are separate from the vehicle roads, so they're quite pleasant. On this one, you can see the characteristic palms of southern Japan along the way.

The bridges are all of state-of-the-art design,many of them beautiful and gleaming white like this one. The route designers have thoughtfully provided scenic overlooks that are perfect for taking photos.
