After emerging from one of the longest undersea tunnels in the world (9.6 km), the road transforms into a 4 km bridge that spans the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Toll Road<\/strong><br>While it\u2019s a spectacular piece of civil engineering, cutting the 90-minute trip from Chiba to Kanagawa to just 15, the \u00a52,510 toll for motorcycles means that there is an added cost to consider. The view from Umihotaru is worth it though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.harley-davidson.com\/share\/rides\/XBvlveL46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Click here to view this route in the Harley-Davidson Ride Planner and start planning your next adventure.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Originally published in 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"10292\" src=\"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-900792148-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-900792148-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-900792148-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-900792148-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-900792148-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japan | 36.2 km<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":10293,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-10485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-riding-routes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10485"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10485\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10486,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10485\/revisions\/10486"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
