suspension bridge that spans the Kanmon Strait, connecting the cities of Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture and Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The bridge is a prominent landmark in the region and is widely regarded as one of the most impressive bridges in Japan.
The bridge is approximately 1.2 kilometers long and stands at a height of 47 meters above the water. The view from the bridge is stunning, with the sparkling blue waters of the Kanmon Strait stretching out in all directions. On a clear day, you can even see as far as the island of Tsushima in the distance.
One of the best ways to experience the Kanmon Bridge is by taking a leisurely drive across it. The road is smooth and well-maintained, and there are plenty of pull-off areas where you can stop and take in the view. There's also a pedestrian walkway on the bridge, which is a great option if you want to take your time and really soak in the scenery.
Another popular way to experience the Kanmon Bridge is by taking a boat tour that passes underneath it. This is a great way to get a different perspective on the bridge and really appreciate its scale and grandeur.
Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to the Kanmon Bridge if you're in the Fukuoka or Yamaguchi area. It's a beautiful and impressive structure that's definitely worth...

Read more「九州の玄関口」とも言われている、本州と九州を結ぶ橋です。 通る時はワクワクしますが、下から眺めるとその迫力に圧倒されます。また、海峡の潮の流れの速さを見ているのも面白いです。
和布刈神社の周辺から撮影すると、関門橋と下を通る船が撮れます。 上から撮影したい場合は、和布刈 第二展望台をお勧めします。 引きで撮る場合は、門司港レトロ周辺や関門海峡ミュージアム周辺がいいと思います。
今回は特別に許可を得て、少し離れた場所からドローン撮影もしました。 ドローンでしか見れない景色、素晴らしいです。 ※ 強風の場合がありますので、ドローン撮影される方は十分にご注意ください。
It is a bridge connecting Honshu and Kyushu, which is said to be the "gateway to Kyushu". It's exciting when you pass by, but when you look at it from below, you'll be overwhelmed by its power. It is also interesting to see the speed of the tides in the straits.
If you take a picture from the area around Mekari Shrine, you can see the Kanmon Bridge and the boat passing underneath. If you want to shoot from above, we recommend the Mekari No. 2 Observatory. If you want to take a picture by pulling, I think the area around Mojiko Retro and the Kanmon Kaikyo Museum are good.
This time, with special permission, I also took a drone shot from a distance. The scenery that can only be seen with a drone is wonderful. There may be strong winds, so please be careful if you are shooting...
