A walk through Yokohama
Description:
Yokohama is the second largest metropolis in Japan, a major trading port, the capital of major industries and entertainment. At the same time, it is a very green and blooming city with many unusual museums, national parks and gardens, historical buildings, Buddhist temples and small neighborhoods filled with the spirit of ancient Japan.
Like all cities in this amazing country, Yokohama perfectly combines cutting-edge technology and traditional Japanese culture.
I invite you to take an amazing journey!
Sancayen Garden is a world of peace and tranquility. It is a picturesque park in the most Japanese traditions. Here perfectly coexist elegant buildings, pagodas, tea houses, curved bridges and bamboo groves, ponds, furry butterflies, turtles and ducks.
Sancayen attracts in any season. In spring cherry blossoms, in summer irises and pink lotuses smell, in autumn the garden is filled with bright colors of maples and chrysanthemums, and in winter the plum blooms.
In Yokohama is the largest in the entire Asian continent Chinatown Chukagai. A piece of China in Japan. Two countries, two cultures. So similar and so different. We will experience Chinese history and enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine.
On the ocean, opposite the port is the oldest park in Japan - Yamashita. You will see the world’s tallest lighthouse “Marine Tower”, thematic monuments and sculptures, the historical liner Hikawa Maru, which was converted into a floating museum.
In the evening, a beautiful view of Minato Mirai opens from the embankment, sparkling with the lights of skyscrapers and attractions.
Minato Mirai is the port of the future. You will find yourself in a bright and festive world of entertainment and attractions.
The observation deck of the Landmark Tower skyscraper will offer panoramic views of the city from breathtaking heights.
Red brick warehouses are a colorful historical structure. Now it is a complex for various exhibitions, festivals and concerts. Here you can buy traditional handmade jewelry, souvenirs and admire the view of the harbor.
Yokohama Bay Bridge is a two-tier suspension bridge. A real pride of the Japanese.
Osambashi Wharf, Yokohama’s oldest and main pier, impresses with its innovative futuristic design and fantastic views, especially at sunset.
