Akashi Kaikyo Bridge Exhibition Center

The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge Exhibition Center displays engineering models, construction plans, and technical information about suspension bridges through interactive exhibits and multimedia presentations. The collection explains the construction methods and engineering achievements required to build this important link between two islands.

The center opened in April 1998 to educate visitors about the construction techniques used to build the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. The project connects Honshu with Awaji Island and represents one of the longest suspension spans in the world.

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

The facility is located within Hyogo Prefectural Maiko Park and provides easy access for visitors who want to explore the grounds. Plan adequate time to walk through the exhibits and use the outdoor areas with views of the bridge.

The center features a 3D stereoscopic theater showing films about bridge construction and direct views of the actual Akashi Kaikyo Bridge from its observation points. The combination of immersive films and real-world vistas allows visitors to experience both the technical details and the monumental engineering work itself.
