Yokohama Bay Bridge

Overview

The Yokohama Bay Bridge, opened on September 27, 1989, is a bridge considered a symbol of Yokohama. Its impressive scale – a total length of 860 meters and a central span of 460 meters – and its beautiful silhouette add to the splendor of Yokohama's cityscape. The upper deck carries the Shuto Expressway Wangan Line, while the lower deck is National Route 357, making it a vital part of Yokohama's transportation network. The Bay Bridge's appeal isn't limited to its stunning scenery. On the Daikoku Wharf side, there's the "Yokohama Skywalk," a pedestrian walkway leading to an observation deck located under the bridge's roadway. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Yokohama Port and the Minato Mirai 21 district. The sunsets and night views are particularly stunning. Witnessing a large cruise ship passing under the bridge is an unforgettable experience. The Yokohama Bay Bridge is also perfect for driving or cycling. Enjoying the refreshing sea breeze while taking in the cityscape will be incredibly invigorating. The Yokohama Bay Bridge connects not only Yokohama's city and sea but also the hearts of its people. We encourage you to visit and experience its charm firsthand.
