The bridge's history dates back to 1889 when a member of the Prefectural Parliament Okubo Jinnojo 大久保じん之丞 (1849-1891) suggested the idea of a Seto Ohashi Bridge.

It was also a main transport line between Japan and other countries, including Korea and China. Even after the creation of major highways such as the Nankaido and San ...
