The world's longest suspension bridge.
Reviewed By Krubee - Singapore, Singapore
Built in 1998 which connects Kobe to Iwaya in Awaji Island stands the longest central pan suspension bridge in the world - the Akashi Kaiyko Bridge. The bridge is 3911 m long with the central span the longest. The bridge can withstand Typhoons and 8.5 magnitude earthquakes. If you plan to cross the bridge the toll fee is 2300 yen. We went there from Osaka taking the JR Kobe Rapid line to Maiko station and from there can walk 3 to 5 mins from the West side. The bridge is free but the exhibition costs about 310 yen. We didn't go inside the exhibition but instead we just walked towards the bridge and its monument where we took great photos and videos together. It was also sunset so we marvelled at the sun while setting down. There are very few tourists and locals around so it was a pretty quiet and less crowded day. We didn't get a chance to cross the bridge by car to Awaji island but will definitely try it next time around. So if you visit Kobe, try passing by Maiko and marvel at the longest suspension bridge in the world.

This is a must do experience if you like sports at all. Japanese baseball is huge fun, and totally family friendly. There’s no aggressive people here like in other countries. The great thing, other than the baseball itself, is the crowd. There are special songs for each player, and the whole crowd knows them all. So when a batter steps up the whole stadium starts singing his song, which is awesome. I recommend you go to the team store first and get a pair of the plastic bashing sticks, then you can bash the rhythm out with everyone else! You can also get some of the balloons which get let off en masse at the 7th innings. There’s also food in the stadium which is pretty standard, so hot dogs, chips, popcorn etc. There are girls walking around all the time selling beer at your seat, which is also fun. The Tigers are one of the best teams in Japan so the game is typically really good too, and it’s not too costly. If you go to the Koshien Stadium website there’s and English guide to buying tickets, which we did and worked pretty well. The only issue you might have is if you ask for 2 tickets in a specific area, they might not be able to find two free seats beside each other. That case isn’t described in the English guide but it’s not too hard to figure out. Overall I couldn’t recommend this enough, please go, it’s brilliant
