context_page_description: The Geiyo Islands are a group of islands in the Seto Inland Sea of Hiroshima Prefecture. They are roughly defined as laying in the western part of Seto Inland Sea, from Hiuchi-nada to Aki-nada. Largest islands in archipelago are connected by Nishiseto Expressway bridge system connecting Honshu and Shikoku islands. Alternative and narrower definition is the "all islands laying between ancient Iyo Province and Bizen Province". The islands of in Hiroshima Bay, most notably Etajima and Kurahashi-jima, are therefore excluded from the Geiyo Islands archipelago narrower definition.
