JB Honshi Expressway has realistically recreated the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, which it manages, in the world of the globally popular game "Minecraft" using approximately 530,000 blocks. Educational content has been released that allows people to learn about bridge management in a fun way.
The purpose of this content is to help a wide range of generations, from children to adults, feel closer to the maintenance and management of bridges and the role of infrastructure. It is designed to be enjoyed by elementary and junior high school students, parents and children, and those interested in infrastructure, civil engineering, and bridge work.
The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is one of the world's largest suspension bridges, with a total length of 3,911m and a central span of 1,991m, spanning the Akashi Strait between Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, and Awaji Island. It is part of the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway, which connects Honshu and Shikoku, and plays an important role in supporting logistics and the lives of local residents.
Using approximately 530,000 blocks, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge has been recreated at actual size in the world of Minecraft. By reproducing not only the bridge itself but also the equipment used for inspection and the surrounding cityscape, a realistic world has been pursued that allows players to feel the actual scale and structural characteristics of the bridge.
Players can experience the inspection work of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge as a member of the bridge inspection team, and enjoy unique game-specific experiences such as visiting places that are normally inaccessible and interacting with equipment that cannot be touched in real life.

Furthermore, this content not only provides entertainment as a game but also emphasizes conveying that daily inspection and maintenance are indispensable for safely continuing to use infrastructure even after its completion. We hope that in addition to the size and beauty of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, people will also become interested in the work involved in protecting it.
This content allows users to learn about bridge maintenance and the role and importance of infrastructure while enjoying the game. Please enjoy the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge recreated in the world of Minecraft.
