Located at the westernmost end of Honshu, separating Yamaguchi Prefecture's Shimonoseki City and Fukuoka Prefecture's Kitakyushu City, it's said to have formed about 6,000 years ago. The name "Kanmon Straits" is derived from the initials of Shimonoseki, historically known as Makan, and Moji, a district in Kitakyushu City.
There are three ways to cross the Kanmon Straits by land: using the "Kanmon Bridge," the "Kanmon Tunnel," or by taking the JR line that connects through an underground tunnel. The "Kanmon Tunnel Pedestrian Path" even allows for walking across the strait. Additionally, a ferry service, "Kanmon Connection Ferry," is available for crossing, offering a brief, approximately 5-minute journey where one can view large ships navigating the straits from the sea.
Surrounding the Kanmon Straits are tourist spots like Kaikyo Yume Tower and Kaikyo Kamon Wharf, offering panoramic views of the straits, making it a perfect addition to sightseeing in the area.
