Urban Waterfront Skyline
View of the Yokohama waterfront from an observation deck of Harbor View Park in Yokohama, Japan, featuring the Wangan Shuto Expressway in the foreground, the Yokohama Marine Tower on the left, the cruise ship Osanbashi Pier in the mid-ground, and high-rise apartment towers in the background.
What was once a fishing village until the arrival of U.S. Naval Commodore Perry in 1859, Yokohama has become the 2nd largest city in Japan. The waterfront district is the biggest attraction for residential use, commercial activities, and is a popular tourist attraction. From this viewpoint of Harbor View Park (1-minute walk from Motomoachi-Chukagai Station on the Minatomirai Line), you can enjoy beautiful views of the harbor.

Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge
Harbor View Park, near Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Minatomirai Line in Yokohama (Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan) offers fantastic nightscape views of Yokohama Bay Bridge–the gateway to the Port of Yokohama for ships sailing in and out of Tokyo Bay. The bridge has a cable-stayed design with an 860-meter/2,820-foot span that crosses Tokyo Bay allowing vehicular traffic to bypass congestion on the bayshore route for quicker access to Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture.Completed in September 1989, the bridge was high enough to accommodate one of the world’s largest ships at that time—the Queen Elizabeth 2. Twenty years later, mega cruise ships became too tall to pass under the bridge and had to dock farther away from the central piers of Yokohama.

Gantry Cranes on the Waterfront
Shot of the Harbor View Park nightscape view looking west from the park’s observatory (Naka Ward, Yokohama, Japan). You can see the numerous mega-gantry cranes standing idle on the berths of Honomoku Pier, which make for great nightscape subjects.
Harbor View Park is located about 37 km (23 mi) south of Tokyo, or a 58-minute train ride from Shibuya Station (Tokyo) on the Tokyu-Toyoko line.
There are several coin-parking lots near Harbor View Park, making it an easy park to visit if you drive. If visiting by train, you can easily access Harbor View Park via French Hill Park, which is only a 1-minute walk from Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Minatomirai Line.

Diagonal Crossing!!
I was so excited when I realized there was diagonal crossing! I know I have seen it in films or on t.v. but to actually experience it in real life was so fun. I like small things in life. It makes so much more sense to me.

Broadway - Nashville, TN.
I was so glad to have been able to travel to Nashville and meet up with an old very close friend of mine. We were there a week before the devastating tornado hit the area, and before the pandemic broke out. I am so incredibly grateful we had the experience of Nashville and all its glory. I can understand why people love it there.
