This is the view from Sunrise Itoyama, a cycling facility equipped with retal bikes, hostel, public bath and even a cafe. 

Many people who cycle across the Shimanami Kaido use this spot to rest and refuel. Isn't the view fantastic?
View from Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, part of Shimanami-kaido that connects Onomichi (Hiroshima prefecture) with Imabari (Ehime prefecture).
