Yokohama

Yokohama, Japan's second largest city by population, is a vibrant port city where history, typical cuisine, culture and entertainment come together in a perfect combination.

If you are looking for an alternative holiday away from the frenetic life of the big metropolises, Yokohama is what you are looking for! The port has played a crucial role for the city since its opening in 1859. Its importance is mainly linked to its proximity to the Japanese capital and its being the gateway to international trade in a historical period in which a policy of isolation prevailed in the country. This aspect is still visible today in the different districts scattered throughout the city where the descendants of the ancient communities that reached these places are located.

Emblematic in this sense is the presence of one of the largest Chinatowns in the world and an entire area that resembles, due to its architecture and buildings, the typical Western metropolises. If you want to admire the typically Japanese style up close, a visit to the Sankeien garden is what you are looking for! Inside there are various historical buildings, paths immersed in greenery and a unique vegetation that will allow you to immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions.

Always to enjoy some moments of relaxation surrounded by greenery, one of the most interesting destinations is also the Yamashita park. Located in an area once destroyed by one of the devastating earthquakes that have repeatedly hit the country over the years, it is the ideal place for a walk or to sit on one of the many benches having the city's bay as a panorama. Near the park is the Yokohama Marine Tower, a tower over 100 meters high from which you can enjoy a unique view of the entire city.

After spending a few hours in this place, given the proximity, you cannot miss a visit to the Yokohama waterfront. The area, in constant evolution, is known all over the world for its skyline in which huge skyscrapers and the Cosmo World amusement park with the huge Ferris wheel are the masters.

Relaxation, fun but also lots of culture! In the city, there are many museums such as: the Museum of Contemporary Art that holds works of art by internationally renowned artists such as Cézanne and Picasso, the Museum that traces the history of the port, and finally an entire museum dedicated to the history of instant noodles.

In addition to the museums, you will have the opportunity to try local cuisine at the various typical restaurants and stalls in the cities. Considering that this is just a taste of what the city has to offer, what are you waiting for? Choose a cruise that departs from Yokohama or that has the city as a stopover in order to enjoy its beautiful sights or discover Japan and South Korea!
