Akashi Kaikyo Bridge Recreated with Approximately 530,000 Blocks!

The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, managed by JB Honshi Expressway, has been realistically recreated in the world of the globally popular game "Minecraft." Educational content has been released to allow people to learn about bridge management in an enjoyable way.

This content aims to help people of all ages, from children to adults, feel a closer connection to bridge maintenance and the role of infrastructure. It is designed to be enjoyable for elementary and junior high school students and their parents, as well as those interested in infrastructure, civil engineering, and bridge-related work.

The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is one of the world's largest suspension bridges, spanning the Akashi Strait between Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, and Awaji Island, with a total length of 3,911m and a central span of 1,991m. It is part of the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway, connecting Honshu and Shikoku, and plays a vital role in supporting logistics and the lives of local residents.

Using approximately 530,000 blocks, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge has been recreated at its actual size within the Minecraft world. By reproducing the bridge itself, along with the equipment used for inspections and the surrounding cityscape, we have pursued a realistic world that conveys the actual scale and structural characteristics of the bridge.

Players can experience bridge inspection work as a member of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge inspection team. The game also includes unique experiences such as visiting places normally inaccessible and interacting with equipment usually untouchable.

Furthermore, this content not only provides entertainment as a game but also emphasizes the importance of daily inspections and maintenance after completion to ensure infrastructure can be used safely. In addition to the size and beauty of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, we hope that people will also become interested in the work involved in protecting this bridge.

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.
