The Kanmon Strait (関門海峡)
is the stretch of water separating two of
Japan's four main islands. On the
Honshu side of the water is
Shimonoseki and on the
Kyushu side is Moji port, now part of
Kitakyushu City.
The Kanmon Strait can be traversed in a number of ways,
the oldest of which is the ferry. There is also a bridge which carries an
expressway. By far the most used method is the Kanmon Tunnel which carries
the Shinkansen, trains, cars and even pedestrians.
