Have you been to Yokohama? It’s a major city just outside of Tokyo. It’s a harbor city, with lots of views of Tokyo Bay from all over the city. I think it’s one of Japan’s most attractive modern cities. There is a lot to do in Yokohama, but I want to tell you a bit about the Minato Mirai area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The landmarks in this area really standout. It’s right on the water, and has the InterContinental hotel that is built to look like a sailboat (pictured on the left) as well as Cosmo World which is a small amusement park with a giant Farris wheel that can be spotted from afar. You can also see the famous Landmark Tower, one of the tallest (maybe the tallest) building in Yokohama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minato Mirai, meaning “harbor of the future” has a lot to do and makes for a fun day – especially if you have nice weather! The amusement park is small, but if you like rides or have kids, you can purchase a few tickets and enjoy the rides. There are a lot of shopping options in the area both in Landmark Tower and other shopping centers within walking distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, a ropeway opened across the harbor called Yokohama Air Cabin. It offers a nice view of this area of Yokohama, although I feel it’s pretty pricy for a ride (one way is 1000 JPY). I rode this one way, but didn’t feel it was worth a roundtrip and enjoyed walking back to the other side through Cosmo World and the shopping areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is so much to do in Yokohama, many museums, restaurants, Chinatown, etc – but I recommend checking out the Minato Mirai area. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
