Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Kanmon Railway Tunnel, Kanmon Roadway Tunnel, and Shin-Kanmon Tunnel are undersea tunnels crossing the Kanmon Straits between Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, and Kitakyushu, Fukuoka in western Japan. When opened in 1942, the railway tunnel provided the first direct link between Honshu and Kyushu, two of Japan's four main islands.
Shin-Kanmon Tunnel
The more modern Shin-Kanmon Tunnel (新関門トンネル, shin-kanmon tonneru) is 18.713 km long and carries the Sanyo Shinkansen high-speed railway line under the Kanmon Straits.
