First Sunrise (Awaji Service Area)

Event Overview

The Awaji service area, which can overlook Osaka Bay, is a great spot for the first sunrise viewing on both the up and down lines. With large parking lots and toilets, 24-hour baby rooms and sales facilities, it's safe for families. The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, which turns orange in the wake of the morning sun, is also a place to watch. In addition, the Awaji service area can travel freely between the up line and the down line by car. During the night-to-first sunrise period on December 31, relatively vacant ascending lines are recommended. Image courtesy of Honshu Shikoku Contact Expressway Co., Ltd.
