Yokohama Waterfront

Today's photo shoot brings us to one of my favorite places to visit regardless of the time of day or the time of year--the Yokohama waterfront district in the Port of Yokohama.

The three locations for this photo shoot were as follows:
Yamashita Park offers many attractions including the Hikawa Maru ocean liner, Yokohama Marine Tower, a rose garden, a large green lawn, many benches facing the waterfront, and the pier for bay cruises.

Zou-no-Hana Breakwater gives you fantastic views of the Red Brick Warehouse district, the Yokohama Bay Bridge, and Osanbashi Pier.

From atop Osanbashi Pier, you have an elevated, sweeping view of the Port of Yokohama from Yamashita Park to the south, Yokohama Bay Bridge to the east, and the Minato Mirai district to the north.

If you plan on driving to the Yokohama waterfront, the cheapest and most convenient parking lot is located right next to the park (be sure to arrive early if you are visiting on a weekend or national holiday):
If you are traveling by train, I would recommend that you take the Minatomirai Line from Yokohama Station to Motomachi-Chukagai Station and then head for exit No. 4. If you are  visiting from Tokyo, the  Tokyu-Toyoko Line from Shibuya will continue onto the Minatomirai Line from Yokohama with no need to make a transfer.
