Crossing over Kanmon Straits, the illuminated Kanmon Bridge is a must-see beauty.
The sea at night where flickering the illumination on the wave is somehow very fantastic.
Lights of boats slowly flowing on the sea seem gently healing your mind that is pressed with jobs and miscellaneous affairs.
Blue Wing Moji, A drawbridge of Power Spot for love
After the drawbridge drew up and then closed down, a couple that crosses hand in hand over the bridge will be tied for a lifetime… such a magic spell is told at “Blue Wing Moji”.
It is a drawbridge only for pedestrians, which is rare nationwide, and is the energy vortex for love, certified also as “the sacred place for lovers”.
The illuminated drawbridge is so mysterious.
Round orange color lights are illuminating a way to go as if a bridge of happiness.
There is regrettably no open and close of the bridge at night, but you can enjoy definitely more romantic atmosphere for sure than that in a day time.
