This is the most unforgettable and beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen in my life! It was so stunning that it gave me goosebumps! If you’re a sunset lover like me, make sure to come here on a clear day to watch it — it’s truly the most memorable view of my entire trip!

Great spot right outside the station to see the bridge. Great view, gets a bit windier later at night. Lots of local fishing happening, with families of all ages fishing! Amazing sunset views, and the bridge lights up at night. Has restrooms, a bit dirty though.

Its great place for roaming. Nice and unforgettable view,loved it.

The largest handing bridge in the world and just by looking at it you feel it. There is a house at the left very nice. The bridge itself is accessible by elevator and you can see how large and tall it is, also on top it is a restaurant.

Love the water , So this is one of my favorites. In the day time you can lay out on the grass small picnic , also Pet friendly park. But at Night the Bridge lights up , different colors in different seasons. Also there's night or day fishing as well. Beautiful way to and a nite out or after dinner.....Great place!

Nice spot for fishing 🎣 with such a breathtaking scenery. During daytime is beautiful. But, Especially around the time of Sunset 🌇 Will be Super Beautiful!! 🧡🧡🧡 Since Summer 2022 from June until August there was an event called "Sunset Beer Garden" 🍻🍺🍻 This is a Sophisticated event that must not missed 😀😋

Wish you could walk on top of the bridge, but the small walkway and visitors center was nice. But for the bigger and better version of the golden gate, the visitor part feels a bit of an afterthought. Regardless, good views and neat experience. I would go back.

Ask for Matsuoka Shoki Nice barbecue spot. You can just rent the spot and bring you own food and alcohol.

Great spot for group friendly BBQ! Barbecue grill and firewood provided by the venue. Call ahead to get reservations - super popular in the spring and summer!

The view is so beautiful and food are really nice!! Definitely I’ll come here again!!

Nice venue. Close to the beach and station. Bar and food are fair beach prices but you can bring your own alcohol and food.

beautiful bbq spot!!!

Not bad. Grill temperature irregular and hard to manage.

It's ok until they rush you out at the end.

The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge also called the Pearl Bridge, is one of Japan’s greatest engineering marvels. It Connects Kobe (Honshu) with Awaji Island, spanning the Akashi Strait in Hyōgo Prefecture. the Total length 3,911 meters (3.9 km). The main span is 1,991 meters, making it the longest suspension bridge span in the world (a record it still holds). Height: Bridge towers rise 283 meters above sea level. Opened: April 5, 1998. Before the bridge, ferries carried cars across the Akashi Strait — a dangerous waterway with strong currents and storms. In 1955, two ferries sank in a typhoon, killing 168 children and adults. This tragedy pushed Japan to build a safer permanent crossing. Construction took 10 years (1988–1998) and used advanced earthquake- and typhoon-resistant technology. The 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake struck during construction, shifting the towers apart by 1 meter — engineers adjusted, and the bridge was completed successfully.

I have visted Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, i am so happy that i visited there, i was very impressed that i am not scare of the water becuase it is 43 thousand feet above the sea level. the bridge was super tall and it was the best view forever of the entire life

Very impressive. Nice to go up and see the landscape. During the evening it lights up multiple colors like a rainbow. I am so happy that I visited there.

A very interesting tour of this impressive bridge. The tours are run by former engineers and crew of the design and build of the bridge so they are very knowledgeable. Your trip will start with an orientation and safety briefing. All items you will bring with must be secured by lanyards to you. They will provide you with everything that you will need before heading out on the tour. Once your orientation is completed, you will head down to the bridge construction exhibition on the main floor. Following your tour of the exhibitions you will make your way out to the bridge promenade. From the promenade you will enter into the maintenance area beneath the traffic surface. The walk from the promenade to the support tower is approximately 1.4kms. Once you arrive at the support tower, you will head up by way of a maintenance elevator built into the core of the tower (from floor 17 to floor 98). Making your way through the support tower core and onto the observation deck on top of the tower will require moderate mobility. They do confirm that you will be able to navigate this portion of the tour before allowing you to proceed during the safety briefing. The views from the observation area on top of the tower is amazing to say the least. The view is well worth all the work to get up there and well worth the cost of the ticket.

Join Bridge World experience to go up 98 floor at the tower top ! Worth to go here can learn more the bridge construction !

Impressive suspension bridge, its the world’s longest suspension bridge- an amazing japanese engineering wonder! You can even go on a tour if you are curious!

The food was good, the view was nice, the counter seats though are small and uncomfortable. About 1,500 yen for curry and small salad, no drinks, feels expensive for a fast food restaurant.

Very good view and many bookshelves with manga to read while waiting for the food. The tonkatsu was a bit too well-done and the food didn't taste quite as well as in the Nagahama restaurant.

Best views of Akashi bridge, while enjoying curry... great combination!

this really good location n nice staffs . window seat is good see outside also. will b back soon

Very nice

(Translated by Google) As you can see in the photo, the view from the window is simply spectacular. This is probably the best CoCo Ichibanya in Japan. The view alone is worth a visit. The restaurant is quiet, the staff are friendly, and you can dine in a relaxed atmosphere. Today I had the seasonal tandoori chicken tomato flavor, which had a good balance of spiciness and sourness and was very delicious. (Original) 写真のとおりとにかく窓から眺めることができる景色が絶景です。おそらく日本のCoCo壱番屋の中でナンバー１ではないでしょうか。 この景色だけでも訪れる価値があります。 店内は静かでスタッフの対応も適切で落ち着いて食事ができます。 本日いただいたのは季節限定のタンドリーチキントマト味で 辛みと酸味のバランスが良くとても美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Chilled curry udon is perfect for summer. The cold curry broth mixes well with the udon. Chicken tempura and eggplant also go well with the curry broth. (Original) 冷やしカレーうどんは夏にピッタリ。 冷たいカレー出汁がうどんによく絡む。 鶏天と茄子もカレー出汁によく合う。

The best place in Akashi — the only place to eat real sushi .. Delicious is shot to what really is.. come and live the experience..

Sushi tastes fantastic 🎶☺️

Wonderful sushi!!!

(Translated by Google) I used it for lunch on Sunday. I think it's better to make a reservation. There is a Japanese restaurant called "Kikusui" on the street behind the restaurant, so be careful not to confuse it. I took a seat at the counter I had reserved and ordered a draft beer and a 5,200 yen course. I was very satisfied with the dishes that came out one after another and the delicious sake. I was given a few extra items to make, and they even gave me things that weren't on the menu, so it was really delicious and I had a great time. I would like to use it again. There is a parking lot, but it is convenient because you can walk from the station. (Original) 日曜日のランチタイムに利用しました。 予約した方が良いと思います。 お店の裏の通りに同じ「菊水」と名乗る日本料理のお店があるので間違えないようにしましょう。 予約していたカウンターに着席してとりあえず生ビールと5,200円のコースを注文しました。 次々に出てくる料理と美味しい日本酒に大満足でした。 追加で数点握ってもらったり、メニューに無い物まで出してもらって本当に美味しくて楽しい時間が過ごせました。 また利用したいと思いました。 駐車場ありますが駅から徒歩でも行けるので便利です。

(Translated by Google) A popular sushi restaurant near JR Sanyo-Akashi Station. I made a phone reservation and visited for lunch. I was seated at the counter. "Kikusuizen" ¥3,520 A set of appetizers, sashimi, and nigiri sushi. It was firefly squid season, so I chose that for my appetizer. I also enjoyed Akashi sea bream sashimi. As for the nigiri sushi, I didn't use the nigiri sushi on the table, which was quite strong... Personally, I like to avoid it as much as possible. The conger eel was available as both pressed sushi and nigiri sushi. The tuna seemed to be imported, but it was delicious. Credit cards were accepted.

(Translated by Google) I ordered the 10-piece chef's choice course. It was delicious, with a great balance of the rice and toppings! I also ordered an eel sushi roll, which was the best! (Original) おまかせ10貫コースにを。 とても美味しく、シャリとネタのバランスがとても良かった！ 追加で穴子の棒鮨をお願いしましたが、1番良かったです！

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is new and has private rooms on the second floor! We had a family meal here. It took a while for the first drink to be served, but everything went smoothly after that! The food was delicious.
