A thorough comparison of Miyako Island bridges, the Irabu Ohashi, Ikema Ohashi, and Raima Ohashi!

Hello everyone! There are many outlying islands surrounding Miyakojima. Among them, Irabu Island, Ikema Island, and Kurima Island have large bridges from Miyako Island to each other, and the land route is well maintained, so you can easily visit these islands for sightseeing.

This article introduces the three major bridges on Miyako Island: Irabu Ohashi, Ikema Ohashi, and Kushima Ohashi!

How to get to Irabu Bridge

I would like to introduce the access to the Irabu Bridge. To get to the Irabu Bridge, first fly to Miyako Airport. From there, take the Miyako Kyoei Bus (Niisato-Miyakuni Line) to Hirara Port. From there, transfer to the Kyowa Bus.

For those who drive a car, we recommend renting a car in Miyako Island. It is very pleasant to drive through the "Irabu Ohashi Bridge" in an exhilarating way.

Irabu Bridge Parking Lot

There is a space in the middle of the bridge where cars can park, but it is a space for emergency vehicles to stop, so parking is prohibited except in an emergency. However, there are spaces at both ends of the Irabu Bridge where at least five cars can be parked. There are spaces for at least five cars at each end of the Irabu Bridge, which are crowded with people who park their cars there to take pictures and eat at the kitchen cars.

At the entrance on the Miyako Island side, there is a store called "Hashi no Eki Nmya~chi" where there is also a small parking lot. Beyond that is the entrance to the Irabu Bridge. There is a little space at the entrance of the bridge, so you can take pictures safely!

History of the Irabu Bridge

Construction of the Irabu Bridge was originally scheduled to be completed in March 2013 and started in 2006. In 2007, the following year, wind tunnel tests conducted by the Wind Resistance Study Committee revealed durability problems, and as a result of reconsideration, the bridge was replaced with a steel slab box girder bridge in 2008. As a result of the reconsideration and testing, the project was delayed one year from the original schedule.

In addition, the large hoist vessel erecting the center span of the main navigation channel section returned to port in Hyogo Prefecture to avoid the effects of a typhoon, and as a result, the project was not completed until January 2015.

Low and high tides at Irabu Bridge

The sea around Miyako Island, including the Irabu Bridge, changes dramatically between low and high tides. At high tide, the depth of the water makes the sea a beautiful shimmering emerald green. At low tide, the coral reefs and white sands on the ocean floor can be clearly seen, and the water is shallower, so the sea is a pale cobalt blue color.

Both are beautiful sights, so please visit at both low and high tide to see the various expressions of Miyako blue. It is convenient to check the tide level from the link below!

How to enjoy the Irabu Bridge

The Irabu Bridge is a 3,540-meter-long bridge connecting Irabu Island and Miyako Island. Miyako Island is an island formed by uplifted coral, and is surrounded by a cluster of coral formations, including the largest table coral in Japan. The total length of the bridge is therefore also "3540 m (Sango-no-shima)," a play on the word "sango-no-shima.

With the construction of this bridge, access to Irabu Island and Shimoji Island became easier, attracting many tourists. It is the longest of the three main bridges on Miyako Island and offers a beautiful sunset view as you drive along. On the Irabu Island side, you may even see sea turtles, so you may want to look for them.

The caves are located overseas in Italy, and in Okinawa on Okinawa Island, Irabu Island, and Yonaguni Island.

The Blue Cave on Irabu Island has only one entrance, which allows sunlight to enter the cave, making it glow a deep blue color. When the weather is bad, the sunlight is weaker and there is less reflected light, so it is recommended to visit on a sunny day to get the best view.

Not only the Kurema Bridge, but also other bridges change the view of the sea between low and high tides, but the sea seen from the Kurema Bridge is especially special. The tidal current in the strait between Miyakojima and Kurima Island is very fast, and the sea water circulates actively. As a result, the clarity of the sea is exceptionally high.

The moderately deep water creates a gradation of blue colors that attracts the viewer. The ebb and flow of the tide creates depth and richness in the blue hues. It is no exaggeration to say that the color of the sea is truly absorbing. It is attractive at both low and high tide, so be sure to visit at the right time.
