Yokohama Bayside Marina... an Outlet Mall with a theme (Japan)

Located along the Seaside Line in Yokohama is a unique outlet mall. The theme of Yokohama Bayside Marina is a yacht harbor. It gives the ambiance of being at Nantucket even though this wharf is located in an industrial area of Yokohama.



The idea of looking at numerous boats in the harbor gives you the feeling that you have left the bustle of a busy city. It is nestled with container loading docks, but your attention is drawn to the atmosphere of the harbor. There are areas where you can enjoy an outside meal at a restaurant.

The boats are privately owned. There are yachts going in and out of the marina every day. It is not a museum... even though you might imagine this because there are boats floating at their berths.



This outlet mall provides with a large variety of stores that will satisfy your day's shopping. There are numerous clothing and furnishing stores. You can purchase numerous types of boating and sailing equipment, too. After all, every yacht harbor should have these stores, too!



Imagine having a chance to enjoy a day here. There is ample parking for those who prefer to drive. I find that it is very relaxing to just sit with a cup of tea after my shopping is completed and watch the boats floating in a harbor...a favorite pastime. It is one of my favorite places to get away for a day of retail therapy and relaxation.
