From 2010 to 2011, my family lived in beautiful Okayama Prefecture, Japan. This area of the country is not frequently visited, particularly by foreign visitors, in comparison to such places as Kyoto, Tokyo, or Mt. Fuji. Nevertheless, it's at least equal in beauty to these locations, with many beautiful features and unique places. One such place is the Seto-Ohashi Bridge, which is one of several bridges connected the main islands of Honshu and Shikoku. This bridge is around 8 miles long, and can be crossed by both car (on top) or train (on bottom). The views in this area are spectacular; the view from Mt. Washuzan in the town of Kojima is especially stunning. This area has a lot of special memories (my second daughter was born nearby, for example), so I'm a bit biased I suppose, but I think any traveler would benefit from a visit!
