The Kanmon Straits are an important waterway connecting Honshu and Kyushu. From near the straits, you can see the cities on both shores and ships passing by, with wide-open views. Being here in person, feeling the sea breeze and admiring the deep blue water was especially pleasant. Watching the ships slowly pass through the straits also gave me a sense of the area's importance in transportation and history. What was most special was being able to take in the scenery of both Yamaguchi and Fukuoka prefectures at the same time, which felt very refreshing.

The Kanmon Straits Tunnel was more interesting than I expected!
I thought it would just be a walk through a tunnel, but I didn't expect to be able to walk from Honshu to Kyushu. It was a truly special experience. The route is a little over 700 meters long and takes about 15 minutes to complete. It's flat and easy to walk, like taking a stroll under the sea.
The one thing you shouldn't miss is the marker at the border between Yamaguchi and Fukuoka Prefectures. Standing in the middle with one foot in Honshu and the other in Kyushu, many people take photos here as a souvenir.
No boat or car needed—just a short walk lets you cross between two islands and two prefectures. I highly recommend experiencing this unique Kanmon Straits walk for yourself and making a different kind of travel memory.

The Kanmon Straits Tunnel is a really unique attraction because you can walk directly from Honshu to Kyushu. The route is a little over 700 meters and takes about 15 minutes on foot.
Inside the undersea tunnel, you can also see the marker showing the border between the two prefectures, where many people stop to take photos. In just a short walk, you can cross between two prefectures at once. It’s both novel and fun, and definitely a special experience worth trying.

The Kanmon Straits pedestrian tunnel lets you cross between two prefectures, and you can even take photos right at the border as a souvenir. The best part? It's totally free—no admission fee at all!
