#tokyobayaqualine #東京湾アクアライン #underwatertunnel • The Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line (東京湾アクアライン, Tōkyō-wan Akua-rain), also known as the Trans-Tokyo Bay Expressway, is an expressway that is mainly made up of a bridge–tunnel combination across Tokyo Bay in Japan. It connects the city of Kawasaki in Kanagawa Prefecture with the city of Kisarazu in Chiba Prefecture, and forms part of National Route 409. With an overall length of 23.7 km, it includes a 4.4 km bridge and 9.6 km tunnel underneath the bay—the fourth-longest underwater tunnel in the world. • Driving the Aqua Line • The Aqua Line is a 4-lane highway connecting Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture with Kisarazu City in Chiba Prefecture. • Kawasaki City is just south of Tokyo, several highways from Tokyo, Yokohama and Kawasaki itself converge just before the entrance to the Aqua Line. • When you reach daylight again at the end of the tunnel, you drive onto a small artificial island called Umihotaru (which translates as Sea Firefly ). • The island hosts a five-story building, the Umihotaru rest stop. • Shaped in the form of a ship, the lower three stories of the Umihotaru rest stop are parking areas while the two upper floors house a variety of restaurants, souvenir shops and viewing platforms. • On Umihotaru Island, the Aqua Line transforms from a tunnel to a bridge, spanning another 4km over Tokyo Bay before arriving on land in Kisarazu City, Chiba. That's the bridge you can see from the airplane. • Hey! I’m Maria! Thanks for watching! • I make videos about my Life experiences here in Japan, culture and travel!
