All Reviews of Kanmon Bridge

This large bridge over the sea connects Fukuoka Prefecture in Kyushu with Yamaguchi Prefecture in Honshu. Looking out from the Mojiko area, you can take in the expansive scenery created by the bridge and the straits. It's especially impressive on a clear day, when the blue sky, sea, and bridge complement one another. While strolling through the Mojiko Retro district, you can also enjoy views of the Kanmon Bridge from different angles, and you may even see ships passing underneath it!

Kanmon Bridge spans the Kanmon Straits between Honshu and Kyushu, connecting Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi Prefecture with Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture. The first time I saw it, the long bridge stretching across the water, together with the surrounding ocean views, looked truly impressive.

This time, I came to enjoy the scenery near Kanmon Bridge in person. You can see ships traveling back and forth through the strait, with the sea breeze blowing toward you, and the whole view feels very open. Standing on the shore and looking at the bridge and sea blending together really gives you that expansive feeling of being on a journey.

Kanmon Bridge was wrapped in clouds and mist. It's a key transportation link connecting Honshu and Kyushu, and the Kanmon Straits run below it. There's also an undersea tunnel you can walk through.

Shimonoseki is the hometown of former Prime Minister Abe, and I unexpectedly came across his authentic calligraphy while dining at a restaurant.

The Kanmon Straits are a busy shipping route, and you can get a great view of the sea from Hinoyama Park here.
