The Akashi Kaikyo suspension bridge. So close to being nice easy round numbers: 3910m long, 1990m central span. So almost 2km between those towers then. Longest in the world (till someone builds a longer one). Because I'm arriving at Kobe on an express train from Tottori, (a) it's closer to the sea than the shinkansen track, so I can see the bridge, and (b) the train's not going so fast that photography's impossible.
