<p>It's almost impossible to see, but there was someone hang gliding over the bridge! It looked like it would be scary but amazing</p>

Kurushim-Kaikyo Bridge connects Hiroshima Prefecture to Ehime Prefecture, thus connecting the main island Honshu to Shikoku by road. Finished in 1999, it is a the world's longest suspension bridge measuring 4,015 meters (13,173 ft). Near the Imabari side there is a park with various trails and a info center, and it's one of the top sightseeing spots in Ehime.
