Visit Report: Bankoku Bridge

A concrete arch bridge built in 1940 that connects the Shinko district of Minato Mirai with the Kaigan-dori district of Kannai.

Though it's a small bridge spanning only about 36 meters, from atop the bridge you can enjoy panoramic views of Minato Mirai's representative buildings including Yokohama Landmark Tower, Cosmo Clock 21, and the YOKOHAMA AIR CABIN ropeway.

The scenery offers such picture-perfect beautiful compositions that it has become a popular spot where you'll always spot people taking photos with smartphones and DSLR cameras whenever you visit.

Since it's located in a very accessible spot and offers free nightscape viewing, be sure to stop by when you visit the Minato Mirai area for sightseeing.
