Cruises from Yokohama

Yokohama, located along the coast of Japan's Pacific Ocean, is a port city where history, typical cuisine, culture and entertainment are perfectly mixed together. With a population of 3.7 inhabitants, Yokohama is the second largest city after Tokyo. If you are looking for an alternative holiday away from the hectic life of large metropolises, Yokohama is the best choice for you! The port has played a crucial role for the city since its opening in 1859. Its relevance is mainly related to its proximity to the Japanese capital. Even though centuries ago the country had a policy of isolation, the port has been the gateway to international trade.

The presence of foreign people is still visible today in the various neighborhoods scattered around the city in which the descendants of the ancient communities that reached these places decided to settle. A perfect example of this is the presence of one of the world's largest Chinatowns and an entire area that resembles typical Western metropolises in its architecture and buildings.

If you want to admire the typical Japanese style, a visit to the Sankeien Garden is the best choice for you! Here there are several historic buildings, paths surrounded by green areas and unique vegetation and you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture and traditions.

If you wanto to relax, one of the most interesting destinations is also Yamashita Park. Located in an area once destroyed by one of the devastating earthquakes that have repeatedly struck the country over the years, it is the ideal place to take a walk or sit on one of the many benches. Near the park there is the Yokohama Marine Tower, a tower more than 100 meters high from which you can enjoy a unique view of the entire city. After spending a few hours there, due to its proximity, you cannot miss the opportunity to visit the Yokohama waterfront.

The area, which is constantly changing, is reknown worldwide for its skyline in which huge skyscrapers and the Cosmo World amusement park with its huge Ferris wheel stand out.
