The Akashi bridge, supposedly the longest suspension bridge in the world ( well if there isn’t a longer one yet )

The back of the ferry.

A little know secret, one of the best ways to travel in Japan is by ferry. Lots of space, toilets with a view, drinks, food, fresh air. you can even lay down and go to sleep. We took the ferry from Takamatsu back to Kobe port, about 3 1/2 hours, but a great trip. for only ¥1500.
