Kanmon Pedestrian Tunnel
7 of 16 in Shimonoseki
The Kanmon Pedestrian Tunnel (関門トンネル人道) is a fascinating 780-meter undersea passage that connects Shimonoseki on Honshu with Moji Port on Kyushu. Visitors access the tunnel via an elevator, which descends to a depth of 50-60 meters beneath the Kanmon Strait. As you walk through the tunnel, you can cross the border between Yamaguchi and Fukuoka Prefectures, making this a unique geographical experience.
This tunnel provides a rare opportunity to walk beneath the ocean and experience the historical connection between these two regions. It’s a must-visit for anyone interested in the local culture and geography.
