Yokohama Night Cruise

■Osanbashi Yokohama International Passenger Terminal

The Osanbashi Pier is Yokohama’s oldest pier, originally built to accommodate new international trade following Japan’s opening to the world in the 19th century. Extensively rebuilt between 1987 and 2002, today the Terminal has been reborn as part of the high-tech Minato Mirai 21 waterfront restoration project.

The pier can accommodate two 70,000-ton class ships simultaneously. It’s a multi-story construction, with parking on the first floor, customs and immigration offices, ticket booths, the arrival and departure lobby, shopping and a caf? on the second floor, and a public observation deck with grass and wooden boardwalks on the roof.

■Yokohama Royal Wing

Yokohama is a port city, and one of the best ways to appreciate its charms is from the sea. The Yokohama Royal Wing, an excursion boat sailing from the Osanbashi International Terminal, lets you see the waterfront at its best, from old town Yokohama to the ultra-modern lights of Minato Mirai and the city’s suspension brdges. With two regular cruises a day, lasting an hour and forty-five minutes, you can choose between a lunch or dinner cruise. Both offer Cantonese Chinese food in keeping with Yokohama’s heritage, as well as entertainment by a jazz band. And, of course, there are the views. The city is surprisingly beautiful, especially at night, and you should expect to share the upper observation decks with lots of couples looking for Yokohoma’s most romantic atmosphere.
