There is no doubt that the Yokohama Bay area is one of the most beautiful in Japan. For a bird's eye view of this spectacular scenery, try walking this promenade. It starts very near Aka Renga Sogo (Red brick Warehouse shopping center) and finishes fairly close to Osanbashi Pier and Yamashita Park. Along the way, soak in the views of the sea, the Minato Mirai skyline, runners jogging, people walking their dogs, and families enjoying a day out in Yokohama-a perfect day!
