Me and a friend of mine are wondering what as foreign travelers we can do at the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge in Kobe. Is there any short distance fairies that go under or a round the bridge?
I also noticed a that the bridge does tours that include ascending to the top of the tower. I am wondering if these tours are somewhat foreigner friendly in the sense that we could follow the group but unless we know Japanese we won’t get any information. I’m pretty sure the answer is no to the second one, considering the form you have to fax but am still curious if there is still a chance.

The tour itself would be in Japanese only, although it seems that for large groups of foreign tourists (20+), they sometimes arrange interpreters to accompany the tour.
On the Honshu side:
* Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge Exhibition Centre, which is supposed to be passably interesting (unfortunately it is Japanese only with foreign-language leaflets)
* Marine Promenade, which gives a fairly nice of the shipping lanes
On the Awaji side”
* Nijigen no Mori (Naruto & Boruto Theme Park)
* Kiseki no Hoshi Botanical Garden with very nice winter illumination
* Eshima island, which is a [fairly pretty spot](http://en.kuniumi-awaji.jp/heritage/29eshima/)
