Hatsu-hinode, the tradition of waking up early on New Years Day to watch the first sunrise of the year, is still popular in Japan. Some climb mountains, others go to the shore, or people in the city watch from their balconies or from towers. If you are in the Imabari area, Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise above the Seto Inland Sea.
Under the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, which leads you to Onomichi in Hiroshima from Imabari. It's a great path for cycling, with amazing views of the Seto Inland Sea.
