Kishamichi Promenade, Yokohama (must see)
The Kishamichi Promenade is a scenic boardwalk with three bridges and unlimited views of the city's architecture. The Promenade runs from Nippon Maru Memorial Park, across the rail tracks, and connects to Unga Park. The place was created by repurposing the area once used by the Japan National Railways.
The Promenade is wood-planked and lined with cherry trees on both sides. The boardwalk is well illuminated and perfect for daytime strolls or walks at night. There are also plenty of benches for those who want to rest and enjoy the scenery.
One of the most spectacular sights from the Promenade is the Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris Wheel located at Cosmo World. This Ferris wheel was once the world's tallest structure, and it remains an iconic landmark in Yokohama. It is beautiful at nighttime when the lights shine with vibrant colors.
Before being used as a public park, the man-made island was a warehouse and shipping area.
