explanation: Road which crosses Tokyo Bay. By combining a tunnel (9.5 km) and a bridge (4.4 km), you can reach from Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture to another side of Tokyo Bay, Kisarazu City of Chiba Prefecture in 30 mn. An artificial island located in the middle of course (Umibotaru) is a popular spot because you can admire Mt. Fuji and landing airplanes to Haneda Airport. Its construction began in August 1989 and the route opened for the public in December 1997.
