City Skyline on Harbor Waterfront

Night view of the Minatomirai waterfront district as seen from Bankoku Bridge. The bridge was originally built in 1903 and survived the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. The current span was rebuilt in 1940. The bridge name, Bankokubashi (万国橋) means “bridge to 10,000 countries” reflecting its early importance to the flow of international trade through the Port of Yokohama.
