The park commemorates the 1983 opening of the Innoshima Bridge, which was the first of the three bridges built to connect Innoshima to Mukojima.
The Innoshima Bridge is a double-deck suspension bridge, carrying vehicles on the top deck and providing separate paths for bicycles and pedestrians below.
The park is located on the site of the former Innoshima Ohashi Campground, now repurposed for scenic viewing and rest.
The surrounding waters are part of the Seto Inland Sea National Park, the first national park established in Japan.
Innoshima Ohashi Memorial Park is situated on the northern coast of Innoshima Island, serving as a primary observation point for the Innoshima Bridge. The park features a designated viewpoint that overlooks the first suspension bridge encountered when traveling the Shimanami Kaido cycling route from the Onomichi side. It contains memorial monuments commemorating the completion of the Honshu-Shikoku Bridge Project. The park grounds provide direct access to coastal walking paths and resting areas for cyclists. Visitors can view the truss structure of the bridge against the backdrop of the Seto Inland Sea. The park is integrated into the larger Setonaikai National Park designated area.
The elevated observation deck overlooking the bridge spans.
Bring binoculars to observe the structural details of the bridge trusses and passing maritime traffic.
The park is an ideal mid-ride stop for cyclists to rest and hydrate before tackling the island's hilly interior roads.
Check local weather forecasts as visibility of the bridge can be significantly reduced by coastal fog or heavy rain.
Do not attempt to walk onto the highway vehicle lanes; stick strictly to the designated cycling and pedestrian paths.
