【美しい港町】横浜港散策｜大さん橋までの海辺の旅
(Please turn on the subtitles) Nice to meet you, I’m ReeDo! I made this channel because I, a Japanese person, actually traveled around Japan and wanted to introduce the charm of traveling in Japan to people all over the world! The point is that a Japanese person living in Japan introduces various places. I’m not very knowledgeable, but I think I can show you information that only Japanese people can provide and the real Japan. Since this is my first video, I’m not going to make a travel video, but I’m going to briefly introduce the channel while walking around. Also, this video, including the shooting, is also a test. If you have any requests such as “I want to know this information” or “I want to see more of XX”, please feel free to comment! By the way, do you know where we are? (Of course you know, right…?) The correct answer is “Yokohama”, a port city that represents Japan! The reason I’m in Yokohama is because it’s my hometown and the city where I still live. People who were born and raised in Yokohama are called “Hamakko” don’t call them “Hamakko” on a daily basis, though lol This is the “Osanbashi International Passenger Terminal” in Yokohama, commonly known as “Osanbashi”. As the name suggests, it’s a passenger terminal. It’s truly a gateway to the sea of Japan! Are we going to get on the ship now? Unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of money… lol In fact, even people who don’t take the boat can come here for free! It’s my favorite spot, where you can get a panoramic view of Yokohama’s port and cityscape! There are lots of boats going back and forth, and that big bridge is the Yokohama Bay Bridge, the symbol of Yokohama Port. There are a lot of things I want to talk about, but this time I headed for Osanbashi Pier and strolled around Yokohama Port. To see what kind of travel channel it is, the quickest way is to just watch it for yourself, right? Now, let’s head for Osanbashi Pier! We will start from Bashamichi Station, not the nearest Nihon-Odori Station. From Bashamichi Station, exit Exit 4, head towards the Red Brick Warehouse and it is about a 5-minute walk. There is the popular photo spot, Bankokubashi Bridge. We arrived at Bankokubashi Bridge and were greeted by sparrows. It seems that their numbers have drastically decreased in recent years… (is that true?) This is Yokohama’s symbol, Cosmo Clock 21, the third largest Ferris wheel in Japan. The big digital clock in the middle is a big help. There is also Japan’s first urban ropeway, which opened in 2021. It’s too early in the morning to operate, but… When it first opened, they said it was unnecessary because it would ruin the scenery. Now it’s a new popular spot. The cityscape is beautiful no matter how many times you look at it (it would be even better if there were no cranes). This is Yokohama’s biggest symbol, the Yokohama Landmark Tower. As the name suggests, it can be seen from various places in Yokohama and is very noticeable. It has 70 floors and is 296.33m tall, the tallest building in Japan. It is the third tallest building in Japan. For about 20 years after it opened in 1993, it was the tallest building in Japan . The balance between the sea, the Ferris wheel, and these buildings is great. As it is a popular spot, there was a map. From Bankokubashi Bridge, we headed towards the Red Brick Warehouse. The route coming from JR Sakuragicho Station is popular. Right in front of us is World Porters, or “Warpo” for short. There is a movie theater, as well as shopping and restaurants. The Red Brick Warehouse came into view. Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen the Red Brick Warehouse with so few people around (I’m not good at getting up early). The Red Brick Warehouse has been around since 1911, and is now used as a commercial facility. This is Red Brick Park, next to the Red Brick Warehouse. In front of us is the beautiful port of Yokohama. What a calm morning. It’s really wonderful that there are no people around (easy to take pictures). There was a fisherman next to me . But it’s a really big passenger ship . I wanted to show you the Osanbashi Pier, but you can’t see anything lol I don’t know much about the Diamond Princess , but I know the name. It’s a gigantic cruise ship, 290m long and about 110,000 tons. It’s one of the largest cruise ships that can dock at Osanbashi Pier. This is a Japan Coast Guard ship. It patrols the Japanese seas and rescues people who have been involved in accidents at sea. Thank you! Anglers are exchanging information. The usual greeting from anglers is, “Did you catch anything today?” Are they fishing for black porgy or something? Fishing is allowed, but casting is prohibited and rules must be followed. A tugboat (a boat used to push or pull ships) has come. You can see how big the Diamond Princess is! We’ve reached the edge of the Red Brick Park . When you can see the Bay Bridge, it feels like the port of Yokohama. The Yokohama Bay Bridge is 860m long (1,300m in total) and 172m high. The height limit for the shipping route is 55m. The Diamond Princess is 54m high, so it can just barely get through. Isn’t it just barely enough…? There are many passenger ships in the world that are larger than this, so ships that cannot pass under the Bay Bridge will dock at the outer “Daikoku Pier”. It’s unfortunate that super-large passenger ships cannot enter the port, but at the time of construction, it was not anticipated that ships that cannot pass under the bridge would appear. That is the bridge next to the Bay Bridge, the “Tsurumi Tsubasa Bridge”, which is also a distinctive bridge and one of the symbols. Pigeons gather at the watering hole and want water! But water cannot be given to the pigeons… This heat seems to be tough even for birds . By the way, I completely forgot to introduce this channel. I created this channel because I wanted to share the good things about traveling in Japan. I’m not advertising, I just travel and introduce the way I like to travel. That makes it seem like a travel vlog, but it’s a little different . The vlog has a great atmosphere, but I felt that there was not much information, so I wanted to make it a video that adds more information and introductions to the vlog . I guess it’s somewhere between a vlog and an information-based video. However, I would like to improve my videos, so I will adjust the channel policy and video structure. I would appreciate not only your opinions, but also any requests you may have! English: So, let’s recap where I am now. I turned right at the intersection from “Bankokubashi” and passed by the “Red Brick Warehouse” . I’m now around the corner of “Red Brick Park”. My destination, “Osanbashi Pier”, is on my right, so I’d like to head south and walk along the seashore. Going back to the channel, this walk also doubles as a filming test, so there may be some parts that are difficult to see. I will adjust my equipment and filming settings to improve it. I ‘ve switched to an action camera, and it seems easier to see this way. From here, I’ll walk along the coast to “Osanbashi Pier”. First, I’ll go to the opposite corner of “Red Brick Park”. By the way, I started this because I wanted to broadcast to the world, but I can only speak Japanese… lol . Since we live in a convenient age, I will try using AI and YouTube subtitles. The subtitles are in Japanese, so there may be some strange translations, but please forgive me. There is a sea bus terminal. It seems like you can go to Yokohama Station, Yamashita Park, etc. It certainly looks convenient, as it’s difficult to get around on the sea side! It’s nice to see Yokohama Port from the sea. I’ll try it next time. There are a lot of moon jellyfish… they ‘re common jellyfish. They ‘re poisonous, but apparently they’re weak and don’t hurt. I’ve come to the opposite corner. On the left you can see Osanbashi Pier. It’s right in front of you, but you have to turn around. This is also a nice view. There was a pin for “Yokohama Three Towers Viewpoint” on Google Maps. This is where you can see the “Three Towers”, a historical building in Yokohama. King (Kanagawa Prefectural Government Main Building), Queen (Yokohama Customs), Jack (Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall) These are called “King, Queen and Jack” in reference to playing cards.I didn’t know this bridge, “Shinko Bridge”, which was built over 100 years ago (1911). The tracks that were once used as a freight line are still there.An elephant in a place like this! This sloping road is a promenade that connects “Red Brick” and “Yamashita Park”.I stopped by because there was a space that looked like a photo spot.This is “Elephant’s Trunk Park ()”, which is why there was an elephant there earlier.But why is it called an elephant’s trunk? It’s because the embankment on the right side is curved like an elephant’s trunk.If the weather is good, it would be nice to relax on the grass in front.If we do it now, we’ll definitely dry out.The viaduct you can see in the background is the promenade we’re going to go through now.It’s a pedestrian-only road that takes a shortcut to Yamashita Park.But we’re going to Osanbashi Pier, so we should be able to get off on the way…I think it should be okay…? Bicycles are not allowed on this road, and I’m sure there were stairs up ahead.Osanbashi Pier is in sight! Oh!It’s possible to get off on the way.Osanbashi Pier is also a popular spot, so there’s no way we can’t get off! This pigeon is resting in the shade. The embankment stretching out in the back is exactly like an elephant’s trunk. It’s right in front of you. The Diamond Princess is docked, so there are more and more people. Cars are coming in droves. Some buses are being scolded for stopping. Welcome to Osanbashi! We’ve arrived! Our destination, Osanbashi! The wooden deck is wide and the atmosphere has changed (it’s hot). The sun has risen, so the temperature is already about 30°C . It’s still morning! ? “No smoking”, “No bicycles”, “Watch out for thorns”. Since it’s a wooden deck, the surface is rough and it looks painful if you fall. From here, be careful… Osanbashi’s rooftop is a plaza that is open 24 hours a day, free of charge. Since the opening of Yokohama Port, it has a history of over 130 years as the “gateway to the sea”. The current appearance was completed in 2002 and is said to be the seventh generation. The road is divided into the rooftop plaza on the left and the boarding lobby on the right. You can go either way because it is connected after entering. There is a line of taxis . It’s very busy . Let’s go to the rooftop. From here, the ship looks like an apartment building! The lobby is crowded. It looks a bit rough, but the rooftop seems empty. It’s usually a popular spot, so there are quite a few people around. Recently, Osanbashi Pier has been a hot topic in Japan. A newly built passenger ship called “Asuka III” was docked there from June until just the other day. It was a really beautiful ship that had just been built, so I wanted to show it off (I looked it up and found out that Asuka III arrived after I returned…). The rooftop comes into view. Normally you can get a 360° view, but today there’s a wall blocking it off. Well, it’s actually a passenger ship terminal, so maybe this is okay… But it’s still very impressive! I wonder if there will ever be a day when I can ride such a luxury cruise ship? It depends on the conditions, but it seems that you can ride a short cruise for as little as 100,000 yen, so it might not be that difficult to get on… Well, I guess I’ll look forward to it in my old age lol As expected, there are no people on the rooftop It’s really hot , with 70% humidity and over 33℃ during the day, so I’m going to die 😇 It’s still early July… (the peak is around August) Let’s refill our drinks first When it’s hot, we want something carbonated to refresh ourselves I bought “Mitsuya Cider”, a standard carbonated drink in Japan (150 yen) It’s a sweet carbonated juice, but it has a very refreshing and gentle taste Vending machines basically accept cash Some vending machines in front of stations and near tourist spots accept cashless payments Most cashless payments are basically IC cards (Suica), and some accept credit cards and QR payments There is a bench in the back, so let’s drink there What a thing! My camera shut down due to the heat just before the finish line What a sound! It’s great to rest in the shade and drink cold carbonated juice I’m revived! As you may have already noticed, this is the beginning of the videoThis time, I wanted to start with an introduction, so the order of the videos was switched.From now on, I will be composing videos in chronological order.So , now that I’ve arrived at my destination, let’s take a look at the route.From “Red Brick Park”, I walked all the way along the coast, from “Zou-no-hana Park”, I passed “Yamashita Rinko Line Promenade” , and got off at “Osanbashi Pier” along the way, and arrived.This time, the route is simple, so I don’t need to explain it so far, but I think it would be helpful if I introduced the route in a similar way in future travel videos.The chin of the Diamond PrincessIt ‘s a beautiful lawnIt looks like it would be nice to lie down on it in the evening, but don’t go on it.Osanbashi Pier has a streamlined shape that resembles waves and ships , and is said to have been selected from the winning entries in an international design competition (※The people on the lawn are construction workers).It ‘s exciting to gradually see the view on the other sideIt seems like we have the place to ourselvesThe clouds visible on the other side of the Bay Bridge create a summery feelThis is the direction of TokyoIt’s summer, so the visibility is not good, but I found Tokyo SkytreeCan you see it …? A faint pole stands in the distance. The 634m tower is so tall that it can be seen from Yokohama. The windmills are not moving because there is no wind. Looking at it like this, it looks like a pelican wearing sunglasses… Today, the ship is anchored, so the view of “Minato Mirai” is not visible. Still, it is a great location, if it wasn’t so hot, I would like to stay there forever. On the coast in front of you is “Yamashita Park” , where there is also a restaurant and a passenger ship called “Hikawa Maru” that is almost 100 years old. You can tour the inside of Hikawa Maru, so I would like to go there next time . Next to Yamashita Park is a lighthouse called “Yokohama Marine Tower”. It used to be red and conspicuous, but it has become more modest since it was renovated… Talking about the channel again, the main focus is travel videos, so I would like to travel around Japan. However, I am an ordinary person, so I have financial problems if I want to travel frequently. Luckily, I live in Yokohama, so I can visit Tokyo a lot. I plan to focus on Tokyo and Kanagawa (called the ‘capital region’ in Japan). My goal is to conquer Japan! I want to visit all the spots in Japan! This is a good opportunity, so I would like to show you something interesting . This is a map of Japan with the places I have visited in my life marked! I mark the places I’ve visited on trips and for business purposes. I’d like to travel abroad, but one of my dreams is to get to know Japan inside and out , so I thought I’d take this opportunity to record it in a video. By the way, Japan is divided into 47 prefectures. To put it in perspective, it’s like the states of America. If you look at the prefectures, I’ve visited 28/47 of them! It would be interesting to colour in the prefectures I visited in the video like this. There’s one more great idea, which I’ll introduce at the end of the video! It’s exactly the same path I took (1.5km from Yamashita Park to Osanbashi Pier). A Japan Coast Guard ship has set sail. On the right side, a small boat is pulling something like a platform. The Bay Bridge has a two-tiered structure, with a highway on top and a general road below. There is also a spot called the “Skywalk” where you can walk on the underside of the bridge. These are the Yokohama Three Towers that I saw on the corner of the Red Brick Park. It seems to be a place where events called “Osanbashi Hall” are held, so I decided to go inside as well. There are two forks in the road, and I don’t think I can go this way. As expected, it was closed . This is hell. The air flow has stopped, and since it’s a wooden deck, it’s become a sauna. It seemed like this side was the right choice, so I was able to enjoy the sauna. Inside, it’s bustling with people boarding the ship. Since I’m not a passenger, I’ll take a quick look around so as not to get in the way and then head home (model sailing ship “Hokko Maru”). It’s very large and catches your eye. The lobby inside has a high ceiling and is spacious. The Diamond Princess is scheduled to depart at 3 p.m. today. Let’s go to the bathroom before we go home. Then, I’ll head home. It’s now around 9:50. I actually wanted to go to Yamashita Park, but it’s so hot that I feel like my life is in danger (the temperature is currently over 32°C). On the left is the stairs that come down from the Yamashita Rinko Line Promenade. This picture is said to be the port of Yokohama in ancient times. Take shelter in the shade while waiting for the traffic lights to change . This is the “Yokohama Port Opening Museum,” where you can learn about the history of Yokohama since 1859, when the port was opened to the public. In addition to materials, There is also a tree called “Tamakusu Tree” that is said to have been there since the port was opened. I have fond memories of coming here as a class when I was in elementary school. I think elementary school students who are Yokohama residents probably come here for class. If you turn right here, you will reach Nihon-odori Station , the nearest station to Osanbashi Pier, from which you can head back in the direction of Yokohama Station. This time, I would like to go a little further to finish my walk, so I came straight ahead. This is “Yokohama Park” (calling the turtles) … Oh, they really gathered, sorry… Yokohama Park is home to a professional baseball team called “Yokohama Stadium”. I thought it was crowded, but there was a high school baseball game going on. High school baseball is one of the seasonal features that symbolize summer in Japan. Baseball and soccer are popular sports in Japan, and I was playing soccer. The building in front of us is currently under construction. The area around “JR Kannai Station” is being redeveloped. It seems that new commercial facilities for sightseeing and shopping will be built. Now, let’s finish our walk by looking at the route. This time, the theme was a stroll around Yokohama Port around “Osanbashi Pier”, and the overall route was as follows. This is using “My Maps” on Google Maps. Not only the route, but also the pins of the spots we visited can be seen. The URL is posted in the video description, so anyone can see it on Google Maps. I plan to keep a record of each trip and make the route public, so if you visit Japan, please refer to it! This time, it was a channel introduction and a light stroll video, but did you get a taste of the atmosphere of Yokohama? Yokohama is a city with a unique atmosphere where traces of the past and modern buildings are mixed together. Next time, I will introduce Yokohama in more detail! Next time, I’ll go to Tokyo Station, the first place to visit when traveling in Japan ! I ‘m also planning to release a video that will be useful for traveling in Japan , so thank you for watching! Have a good trip!
