MM21 Boats Bridge

Tourists can reserve seats on this type of cruise ship that takes passengers around the bay while serving drinks and food. Occasionally, you can hear the passengers having a small party while sing karaoke.

There are quite a few different ships, which are typically fully-booked on weekend evenings. Groups of newlyweds and their guests, family or class reunions, and coworker gatherings are a common sight.

These ships need to navigate under low-lying bridges that crisscross parts of the bay. This accounts for the low profile of the boats. Their colors and lanterns create nice reflections on the water.

This is a shot of the one of the towers supporting Yokohama Bay Bridge. One of the largest suspension bridges in the Kanto area. Actually, it is one of my favorite bridges in Japan. The view from the bridge is beautiful as well!

MM21 Red Brick Warehouse

Even the larger trees need wooden supports to help them from toppling over during typhoons.

Love how they light up the Red Brick Warehouse, one of the first western-style buildings built on the pier almost a hundred years ago. 

Now the building is a small shopping center with lots of boutique shops and restaurants.

During holidays, special events are sponsored and held at this quarter of the Minato Mirai pier refurbishing project.
