Once you’ve shaken out your sea legs, you’ll be ready for a whirlwind experience of Yokohama’s internationalized past – a history that’s owed to the very port your ship has docked at! Where else in Japan could you see an entire district lined with 100-year-old western mansions or a gigantic Chinatown with over 600 stalls?

Whizzing up Japan’s fastest elevator in Yokohama Landmark Tower and snapping pictures of the skyline from the perfect angle on Ōsanbashi Pier are must-dos, but maybe you’ll also step off the beaten track to the secret, the no-frills fish market for a platter sashimi moriawase and a professional tuna-cutting demonstration before heading further afield to Kamakura - home to tranquil Kōtoku-in temple and its iconic Great Buddha.

When your ship docks at the Port of Yokohama, you’re right in the heart of the city’s central hub, a short walk away from several of its biggest attractions.

Maybe you’ll stick close to Tokyo Bay, hopping on the Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel – an icon of the futuristic Minato Mirai skyline – or mixing your own instant ramen soup at the interactive Cupnoodles Museum a few minutes away from the century-old Red Brick Warehouse’s artisanal stores and sophisticated galleries.

Perhaps you’ll head a mile deeper west to lantern-lit Noge to slurp down soba at a pocket-sized noodle bar, or maybe you’ll take the train 30 minutes along the bay for a drink – not just any drink, but a frothy, freshly brewed lager at Kirin Beer Village, one of Japan’s oldest commercial breweries.
