2026 Bankoku Bridge (万国橋) Night View: A Full-Day Course

Spend a day enjoying Yokohama's night view with your family at Bankoku Bridge (万国橋), known as a classic spot for photographing the Minato Mirai (みなとみらい) night view. From Bankoku Bridge, which spans the canal connecting Kannai (関内) and the Shinko District (新港地区), you can take in the full sweep of Minato Mirai's high-rise buildings, including Landmark Tower (ランドマークタワー) and the Ferris wheel, and the composition combining them with the lights reflected on the water has appeared repeatedly in dramas and movies. In the early afternoon, take a break watching the sailing ship Nippon Maru at Nippon Maru Memorial Park (日本丸メモリアルパーク) in front of Sakuragicho Station (桜木町駅). After a leisurely stroll around the lawn at Shinko Central Plaza (新港中央広場) in the Shinko District, head on foot to Bankoku Bridge in the evening. As the sun sets, lights come on across the buildings, and the moment the evening view turns into a night view is the highlight. Since the bridge is viewed from the pedestrian walkway, keep a close eye on your children and hold their hands so they do not step into the roadway.
