Hyōgo Prefectural Route 31 Fukura-Ei-Iwaya Line is a major local road that runs from the Route 28 intersection at Kashū-yahata, Minamiawaji City, Hyōgo Prefecture, via the western coast of Awaji Island to the Route 28 intersection at Iwaya, Awaji City.
The line is nicknamed the “Awaji Sunset Line,” and as the name suggests, on a clear evening, you can drive along the coast while watching the sun set over the Seto Inland Sea.
Along the route are many rest and sightseeing spots such as “Roadside Station Awaji,” “Hello Kitty Smile,” and “Keinomatsubara,” a nationally designated scenic beauty spot.
