Akashi Kaikyō Bridge
The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, connecting Honshu and Awaji Island, spans a total length of 3,911 meters, making it the world's longest suspension bridge, affectionately known as the "Pearl Bridge." Its beautiful presence captivates visitors day and night, and the nighttime illuminations feature different enchanting designs throughout the seasons.
