Kouri Bridge

Kouri Bridge links Yagaji Island to Kouri Island in northern Okinawa, offering a scenic 2-kilometer drive across clear, shallow turquoise waters. Completed in 2005 with toll-free access, it’s a popular stop for photographers and beachgoers heading to Kouri’s relaxed shoreline and cafes. Views are best on sunny days; parking areas at both ends allow short walks and photo stops. Combine a visit with Kouri Ocean Tower or nearby beaches for a half-day trip. Go if you enjoy coastal vistas and casual island exploring; skip if you’re seeking extensive cultural sites or challenging hikes.
