#FukuokaTravel #Shimonoseki #Kanmon Strait Tunnel #Kanmon Bridge #Kyushu Kanmon Bridge (Kanmon Bridge) is a magnificent suspension bridge across the Kanmon Strait, connecting Shimonoseki City in Yamaguchi Prefecture and Moji Ward in Kitakyushu City in Fukuoka Prefecture. This bridge is not only an important transportation hub, but also a great tourist attraction. Here are some introductions and travel tips about the Kanmon Bridge to help you have an unforgettable trip here. The Kanmon Bridge is 1,068 meters long, with the bridge deck 61 meters above sea level. From the bridge you can overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire Kanmon Strait. The views here are stunning, day or night. During the day, you can see the strait under the blue sky and white clouds, and at night it is dotted with gorgeous lights, forming a beautiful night scene. When Kanmon Bridge was completed in 1973, it was one of the longest suspension bridges in Japan at the time. The construction of this bridge utilized the most advanced technology at the time and became an important milestone in the history of bridge construction in Japan. Diverse Sightseeing Activities: In addition to enjoying the stunning views of the bridge itself, visitors can also visit nearby attractions such as the Mojiko Retro District, Dan-no-ura, and Ganryu Island. These places are rich in historical and cultural background and are worth visiting. Best time to shoot: Sunrise and sunset: The light is softest during these two times, making for the most beautiful photos. Night: The lights on the bridge dot the night sky, creating a gorgeous night scene that is perfect for night photography.

#August2024 Kanmon Bridge (also known as Shimonoseki Bridge) is a famous suspension bridge located between Shimonoseki and Mojiko Port. It is specially introduced because this bridge looks no different from other bridges connecting two places, but in fact it uses special technology to build an underwater tunnel that allows pedestrians and bicycles to access each other. This time I walked along the Kanmon Strait from Shimonoseki Karato Market. The scenery along the way was breathtaking, until I walked under the bridge, the magnificent bridge building came into view; to pass through the undersea tunnel on both sides of the strait, I had to keep walking until I saw the signs on the left to take the elevator down to the tunnel; the tunnel is 780 meters long and divides Yamaguchi Prefecture and Fukuoka Prefecture in the middle, attracting tourists to stand on the dividing line to take photos and check in; and the air in the tunnel is well ventilated, so you won't feel uncomfortable walking deep under the sea. Next time you come to Shimonoseki or Mojiko in Kyushu, you may want to arrange to walk or ride a bicycle across the Kanmon Bridge to see this magnificent construction. #100 Ways to Travel #JapanTravel #Kanmon Bridge #Shimonoseki Bridge

#Hinoyama Ropeway There are many tourists who come to Shimonoseki to see the Kanmon Bridge and walk through the underground passage between Kyushu and Honshu, so I'll introduce you to the Hinoyama Observatory. I know that the ropeway is operated at night in July and August, so If you're going nearby, be sure to go there. The background is beautiful and the Kanmon Bridge is clearly visible from the high place, so it's great for taking great photos. The night view is even prettier, so be sure to go there at night in July or August. I hope you take great photos.

The Kanmon Bridge is located between Honshu and Kyushu. It is about 700m wide. It can be seen from all over the city. The photo was taken at Hinoyama Park! A great place to enjoy the spectacular view, sea, wind, and air, as well as nature! #KanmonStrait #KanmonBridge #Bridge #BridgeConnectingKyushuandHonshu #CoupleTrip #SpectacularView

📍Moji Kanmon Bridge is one of the sightseeing spots in Moji. The Kanmon Bridge is a 1,068-meter-long suspension bridge that spans the Kanmon Straits and connects Honshu and Kyushu.🪜 The bridge is so large that it can be seen from afar, but it is impressive when seen up close. Fukuoka is in Moji, and Yamaguchi is in Shimonoseki, both of which are great places for delicious fish, so there are many people fishing around the bridge.🎣 If you cross Shimonoseki, you will find Karato Market, so it is a fun plan to enjoy both. Please look forward to the impressive bridge and delicious food.🔖 #FukuokaTrip #YamaguchiTourism #MojiPort #Shimonoseki #DomesticTrip #0YenTrip

The Kanmon Bridge is a huge bridge that connects Yamaguchi Prefecture to Fukuoka Prefecture. Did you know that you can walk across the Kanmon Straits, which the bridge spans, underground? The entrance is about 1 km from the base of the bridge, and you can take an elevator down to the underground. You can enter from either the Yamaguchi side or the Fukuoka side. It is a unique experience to walk across the prefectural border that separates Honshu and Kyushu inside the tunnel. It is 780 meters long and has almost no slope, so it is easy to use, and the toll is free for pedestrians and only 20 yen for bicycles and mopeds, making it very cheap. #KanmonStraits #KanmonBridge #KanmonTunnelPedestrianTunnel #FukuokaTourism #YamaguchiTourism #FukuokaTrip #YamaguchiTrip #Mojiko #Shimonoseki #0YenTrip

This suspension bridge connecting Moji and Shimonoseki is an impressive sight, majestically spanning the narrow waterway. We took a special ferry tour to experience the grandeur of this huge bridge firsthand. When you are viewing from the deck of the ship, you will be deeply struck by the majestic bridge that spans both banks. The crossbeams of the bridge meander across the sky like a giant dragon. The steel structure sparkles in the sunlight, complementing the red afterglow of the sunset in front of your eyes, creating a magnificent scene. When a boat passes under the bridge, the bottom structure of the bridge can be seen clearly. Those straight bridge cables like sharp arrows flew past before our eyes, interweaving with the flow of the river around them to form a silent and lively picture, which was shocking. At that time, we all held our breath and gazed at the majestic and spectacular scenery before us, and we couldn't help but feel a sincere admiration for the architectural wisdom of mankind. The Shimonoseki Bridge stands majestically above the Kanmon Strait, as if witnessing the history and future of this port city, leaving a deep and unforgettable impression on every visitor. This is undoubtedly a stunning sight that you cannot miss when exploring Mojiko. #Fukuoka Attractions

When you get to the Gate Bridge, you must take advantage of the afternoon or dusk 🌆 time to come here. All the buildings here are super short and unobstructed to enjoy the sunset. Plus the torii ⛩️ in the photo has a more feel.

The Kanmon Strait and the Kanmon Bridge spread out before you. At night, you can see the beautiful retro Mojiko Port night view. There are souvenir shops, a food court, a large observation deck, and accommodation facilities nearby. There are many ingredients unique to Shimonoseki. The food court had seafood bowls and kawara soba noodles. I had whale tatsuta-age. It had a flavor that was like a combination of fish and meat, and it was delicious. I bought some overnight dried pufferfish as a souvenir. #tripmemory2022 #YamaguchiPrefecture #Shimonoseki #Dannoura #ParkingArea #ServiceArea #KanmonStrait #KanmonBridge

Mekari Parking Area, located on the Kanmon Bridge in Moji Ward, Kitakyushu City It has been renovated and now has an observation deck, making it an area where you can enjoy both sights and food 😆 There is also a menu of fugu, which is unique to Shimonoseki.
