Akashi Kaikyo Bridge Exhibition Center

The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge Exhibition Center displays engineering models, construction techniques, and technical information about suspension bridges through interactive exhibits and detailed presentations.

The exhibition center initiated operations in April 1998 to educate visitors about the construction methods of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, which connects Honshu with Awaji Island.

The facility functions as an educational hub where Japanese engineering achievements and infrastructure developments are presented through scale models and multimedia presentations.

Located within Hyogo Prefectural Maiko Park, the museum opens from 9:15 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees of 310 yen for adults and 150 yen for students.

The center features a 3D stereoscopic theater showing films about bridge construction, while offering direct views of the actual Akashi Kaikyo Bridge from its observation points.
