Beautifully spanning the Manzeki Strait with its impressive, vibrant red arch, the "Manzeki Bridge" connects the upper and lower islands of Tsushima. This canal holds a grand history, having been excavated through massive rocky mountains using sheer manpower by the former Imperial Japanese Navy in the Meiji period to allow warships to pass through. The dynamic view of powerful tidal currents rushing and roaring below the bridge alongside deeply carved rock surfaces fills visitors with overwhelming impact and human challenge history. Surrounded by endless deep green mountains and blue seas, the contrast is beautifully picture-like, serving as a scenic spot where you can absorb elemental atmospheric power while feeling the historical turning point of the border island.
