Yamashita Rinkosen Waterfront Promenade
 
basic information

Yamashita Park

The Yamashita Rinkosen Promenade is a nice waterfront promenade connecting Minato Mirai 21 with Yamashita Park. It used to be the route of the Yamashita Rinko Line, a harbor freight railway line.

The promenade starts in the futuristic Minato Mirai 21 district. From there it leads along the waterfront, passing the Red Brick Warehouses, which have recently been transformed into a pleasant shopping and community center. The promenade then passes the architecturally remarkable New Yokohama International Port Terminal, where passenger liners arrive and depart.

The promenade finally leads into Yamashita Park, a public park at the foot of the Yamate hill. The Marine Tower, a 106 meter tall lighthouse is located nearby. The Hikawa Maru, a passenger ship which served on the Yokohama-Vancouver/Seattle and other routes from 1930 to 1960, is docked in front of Yamashita Park, and is open to the public (entrance fee applies).

Any advice or questions? Voice them in the forum!

how to get there

The promenade starts at Minato Mirai 21, which is accessed from Minato Mirai Station on the Minato Mirai Line or Sakuragicho Station on the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line (Negishi Line) and Yokohama Subway Line. At the other end of the promenade, Yamashita Park is a short walk from Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Minato Mirai Line.

Note that trains on the Minato Mirai Line continue to run on the Tokyu Toyoko Line to Tokyo's Shibuya Station. Limited express trains take about 30 minutes and 440 yen from Shibuya to Minato Mirai and 35 minutes and 460 yen to Motomachi-Chukagai Station.
