Seto Ohashi Bridge, the great bridge connecting Shikoku to Okayama Prefecture in Honshu, has its southernmost “foot” on Shamijima Island (沙弥島), located in the Seto Inland Sea off the coast of Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku. Originally a tiny island on its own, Shamijima was connected to the larger landmass by reclaimed land in 1967. This peaceful island boasts a small fishing village, museums, beaches, temples and of course, a magnificent view of the Seto Ohashi.
Though small, this island has many points of interest for its visitors. The Higashiyama Kaii Setouchi Art Museum displays the artwork of Higashiyama Kaii, a landscape painter. His artwork is rotated seasonally with two annual special exhibits held in the spring and autumn.

In addition, in the spring of 2013, Shamijima was selected as one of the venues of the 2013 Setouchi Triennale, a modern art festival with multiple display venues among the Seto Inland Sea islands. A few of the art pieces from the festival have a permanent home on the island for visitors to enjoy.
The Seto Ohashi Memorial Park is nearby the Higashiyama Kaii Art Museum. This park commemorates the completion of the Seto Ohashi Bridge. Within the park grounds, visitors can find the Seto Ohashi Memorial Hall which has photographs and displays explaining the history and construction of the bridge.
