Tokyo Bay

Como si no lo hubiera escrito el calzón bastante a menudo que mientras este sitio ha sido a, Yokohama es una ciudad del puerto. Claro, sólo no puede estrecharse abajo a que, pero viviendo para que cerca del puerto, toma una parte grande de mi vida. I have walked it countless times and am starting to get used to the sights. So I did what one does when something becomes too familiar: I did a 180 to destabilize myself in order to view the port from a different angle. ¿O hace uno? …y por 180, quiero decir la vista el puerto de dónde mi mirada normalmente se caería en. En las condiciones de hombre común, dí un paseo y parecía atrás hacia la ciudad. This update will be more a photo album than an informative page.

There are different possible tours around the bay. The one I boarded was the Marine Shuttle in Yamashita Park, close to Yamashita Pier.

Yamashita Pier focuses on conventional cargo. Right across from it is the permanently anchored Hikawa Maru, named after Hikawa Shrine, an important Shinto shrine. It served as a hospital ship during WW2 but is now a floating museum.

Leaving the pier, the ship headed inward toward the center of the port. Malecón de Shinko, "shinko" que significa el "nuevo puerto", que es donde se construyó Minato Mirai al nuevo desarrollo 21 así como donde se localiza los Almacenes del Ladrillo-Rojo que probablemente introduciré en artículos más tarde.

From there, the shuttle headed for Bay Bridge.

Now, for Bay Bridge, I could posts hundreds of pictures from all sorts of angles, but I think the picture above, seen from the other side, looking in to Yokohama, speaks without words!

Next stop was Honmoku Pier, the core pier. A total of 25 berths. And Yokohama is currently enhancing its installations. Por sería Malecón de Daikoku, pero no podría conseguir los cuadros buenos desgraciadamente…

Finally, before returning, we passed next to Mizuho Pier which is one of the piers requisitioned by the U.S. military since WW2. However, the real reason why people know about Mizuho Pier is the huge wind turbine that has been installed on it. In fact, Yokohama is a viewed as the environment model city of Japan, a leader in taking environmental action, and the wind turbine stands as a symbol of this.

Upon our return to land, Hotel New Grand could be seen right in front of us. It is one of the more historical buildings in Yokohama. Commodore Perry actually signed some documents within its walls!

Y aquí es un último cuadro y los trivialidades un poco de:

The Port of Yokohama received 37,359 vessels in 2010, and that there is 3.28 million TEU of container throughout. The Port is also linked by 102 sea routes. Yokohama is even planning a 20m deep high standard terminal for 2013. Also worth mention is the export of finished vehicle handled by Daikoku Pier: 600,000 in 2009. Lastly, the Port of Yokohama has been the highest ranking cruise ship port in Japan for 8 years running, with 122 visits in 2010!
