The Japan National Tourist Organization is organizing a walk over the 4-km-long Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, the world's first triple suspension span, on Aug. 1.

Participants in the Bridge Walk World Rally can choose from three courses with lengths between 6 km and 20 km.

All participants will start from Itoyama in the city of Imabari, Ehime Prefecture, and cross the bridge, which opened last month, over the Seto Inland Sea. The participation fee is 1,000 yen.

The registration deadline is June 30. For more information, call (089) 927-7155, fax (089) 927-7156 or e-mail [email protected]
