-How to Enjoy Summer in Yokohama-
Yokohama, which opened as Japan's first modern international trading port in 1859, is the homeport of Japan's cruise ship "Asuka II" and also serves as the port of call for the largest and newest cruise ship visiting Japan, the "MSC Bellissima." Yokohama Port, where seven cruise ships can dock simultaneously, is a representative port in East Asia. Near the passenger terminal, you can find scenic views that reflect the history of the port, lush green spaces, and numerous modern tourist attractions and hotels, allowing you to enjoy sightseeing before and after your cruise.

We also recommend using the "Yokohama Cruise-Friendly Program" to explore Yokohama alongside your cruise journey. Simply show the Program logo to enjoy discounts and welcome gifts at restaurants and souvenir shops. Make the most of your visit to the harbor city of Yokohama!
