The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is a cross-sea passage connecting Kobe City and Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. It is the only way from Honshu Island to Shikoku Island. The bridge is 3,910 meters long, with a main bridge span of about 1,990 meters. It is the world's longest main bridge span suspension bridge. Construction officially started in 1988 and opened to traffic in 1998.
In addition to the main bridge span ranking first in the world, the beauty of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is also world-renowned. The main tower of the bridge is 297 meters high, close to the height of Tokyo Tower. It embraces the mountains and the sea in the Seto Inland Sea, which is magnificent! On Awaji Island, you can appreciate the heroic appearance of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in a relatively comprehensive way. The blue sea and blue sky, the long suspension bridge, the tall Ferris wheel on the seaside, or the breeze, are all so unforgettable... This is a holy place for lovers to make vows.
It is the longest suspension bridge in the world and although there are very few tourists, there is also a tourist attraction called the Sea Promenade where you can walk along the sea. Be sure to check it out!!
