Irabu Ohashi is the longest non-tolled bridge in Japan with its 3.54 kilometers long connection between Miyako-jima and Irabu-jima islands. The structure was achieved in 2015 and, akin to a concrete-made sea dragon, elegantly crosses the turquoise water of the archipelago. The sides of the road have parking areas to enjoy the landscape for a little bit longer.
Japan’s southernmost island is a dynamic landscape of active volcanoes, hot springs and fertile farmlands. Kyushu is epitomized by the words Energy, Fertility and Gateway, representing its natural energy and dynamic people, the rich soil that blesses the island with delicious food, and its history as a link between Japan and the world.
Kyushu and Okinawa are regions in Japan that are known for their natural beauty, history, and culture. The Kyushu-Okinawa region is made up of eight prefectures: Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, Oita, Kumamoto, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, and Okinawa.
