After leaving Hiroshima, I decided to continue westward to Yamaguchi. I wanted to cross over into Fukuoka, which is across the water. At first, it took me about half an hour to find out just how to get on the bridge. When I finally arrived at the entrance gate, the attendant told me that bicycles were not permitted. He then told me that I could use the tunnel. To access the tunnel, I would need to take an elevator just below the suspension bridge (right photo). This tunnel only accomodates pedestrians and cyclists. Cool! |
