Yokohama skyline
The City of Yokohama is a very busy port harbor city located off of Tokyo Bay. Many different kinds of industries from all over the world use the port for trade and commerce. The port is extremely busy with many large container and cruise ships continuously flowing in and out.
I never imagined how the skyline of Yokohama changed after the Yokohama Bay Bridge was built. However, from looking at photos in some older books, over the years the skyline approach to Yokohama did change.
I often wonder if the Bay Bridge gets overlooked for its own beauty. At Harbor View Park in Naka Ward, a magical view appeared as the industries disappeared behind the trees... the scene was of a lovely view of the bridge.
In addition, while on an evening cruise of the Yokohama Port Area my perspective of the area changed. How beautiful the view was one clear evening. Industrial objects disappeared in the darkness... the bridge appeared as a mysterious massive structure.
Again, in view were the lights of a lovely skyline. Just as the evening cruise ship turned, a view of Sakuragicho appeared in the distance under the bridge's pier. As the cruise ship returned to the dock, the lights the Sakuragicho area became clearer.
Sakuragicho is one of the newer developed areas of Yokohama. It has many lovely large hotels, an amusement park, and other businesses. Many buildings are still being built in that area... there are plans for more development.
Maybe someday, there will be other people who enjoy the different views of the Yokohama Bay Bridge. How its appearance changes in daylight and darkness. In the daylight, the colorful lights disappear into the sunlight. Daily, a large number of people commute over the bridge in cars and trucks in and out of the City.
