Urban Waterfront Skyline

View of the Yokohama waterfront from an observation deck of Harbor View Park in Yokohama, Japan featuring an expressway in the foreground, the Yokohama Marine Tower on the left, a cruise ship pier in the mid-ground, and high-rise apartment towers in the background.

What was once a fishing village until the arrival of U.S. Commodore Perry in 1859, Yokohama has become the 2nd largest city in Japan. The waterfront district is the biggest attraction for residential use, commercial activities, and is a popular tourist attraction.
