I recently visited Osakishimo Island off Hiroshima Prefecture in the Seto Inland Sea. Since the Jomon Period, this island has only been accessible by boat.

Osakishimo is one of six islands under the jurisdiction of the city of Kure, a maritime town famous for building the famous battleship the Yamato.

Seven bridges that form the Akinada Tobishima Kaido will connect these Kure islands when the project is finished next month.
