About this event

This is a walking event where participants walk across the Oshima Bridge, which celebrates its 50th anniversary of opening in 2026, heading toward the Iinoyama Observation Deck. Opened on July 4, 1976, the Oshima Bridge serves as a vital transportation infrastructure connecting Suo-Oshima with Honshu and is widely loved as a landmark of Suo-Oshima. In this event, participants can experience the history, nature, and landscapes of Suo-Oshima by combining the rare opportunity to cross the Oshima Bridge on foot with the breathtaking view of the bridge and the Obatake Strait from the Iinoyama Observation Deck. At the goal at Iinoyama Observation Deck, participants will be served Suo-Oshima's proud entertainment dish, "Mikan Nabe" (mandarin orange hot pot). Furthermore, after the event finishes, participants can also enjoy mandarin orange picking, an autumn delicacy of Suo-Oshima, making it a full day to thoroughly enjoy Suo-Oshima through walking, sightseeing, and tasting. The event provides a wonderful experience connecting to the next 50 years while looking back over the 50-year journey of the Oshima Bridge. The route is approximately 4.8 km with an elevation gain of approximately 270 m.
