The {{Nihongo|Akashi Strait|明石海峡|Akashi Kaikyō}} is a strait between the Japanese islands of Honshu and Awaji. The strait connects Seto Inland Sea and Osaka Bay. The width of the Akashi Strait is approximately 4 kilometers. Its maximum depth is about 110 meters.[1] The utmost tidal current is about {{convert|4.5|m/s|kn|abbr=off}}.[1]

The 1.5 kilometer strait is one of the important points of the Seto Inland Sea and is at the mouth of the Pacific Ocean. The surrounding waters around Akashi Strait is a known fishery area. The Akashi Strait is designated as an international shipping channel by the Maritime Traffic Safety Act in Japan.[1]

The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge crosses the strait. This 3.911 kilometer long suspension bridge links the city of Kobe, the capital of the Hyōgo Prefecture, on Honshu Island to Iwaya on Awaji Island, also within the Hyōgo Prefecture. Its longest span measures 1.991 kilometers.[1] After 10 years of construction it was finally opened to traffic on 5 April 1998.[2] At the time of its opening in 1998, it was the world's longest suspension bridge.[2]

The Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred beneath the Akashi Strait and struck on 17 January 1995 with magnitude 7.2.[3] The Nojima Fault is responsible for the Great Hanshin earthquake. The fault cuts across Awaji Island and a surface trace of about 10 kilometers long appeared on Awaji Island due to the earthquake.[3] The Nojima Fault is a branch of the Japan Median Tectonic Line which runs the length of the southern half of Honshu island.
