Yokohama is the second biggest city in Japan (it’s not Osaka!), about 30 minutes train ride away from Tokyo. It is still developing and expanding, each time you visit Yokohama, you will encounter its new faces and lately, a new city attraction appeared, it’s Yokohama Air Cabin, a rope way flying over the canals and between the buildings!
Yokohama is a city facing the sea, and one of the island with a shopping mall, museum, theme park didn’t have an access with trains. Then, this city ropeway has been established, it connects between Sakuragicho railway station and Canal Park (Unga Park) at the foot of the shopping mall Yokohama World Porters.
It is a five minutes ride between the two stations, the fascinating part is you can actually fly over the canals overlooking the sea. The buildings are on your right and left, a symbol of Yokohama, Ferris Wheel Cosmo Clock Tower 21 is turning in front of you. This would be the most unique and exciting experience you would never find in any other part of the world!
The important part is, this is actually the city’s public transportation. Thanks to the ropeway, you don’t have to walk a long way to the shopping mall or other facilities such as a event venue Red Brick Warehouse, Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama, and Yokohama Cosmoworld with the Ferris wheel.
One thing you should not forget about is the nigh view. The Yokohama bayside is especially beautiful at night and by taking the Yokohama Air Cabin, you would feel like you are flying in the middle of the future world!
To get the Yokohama Air Cabin, take a train to JR Sakuragicho Station. The entrance of Yokohama Air Cabin is right in front of the East exit.
