Our 196th entry in this blog is our trip to Sakuragicho (as always, hehe…) as this has always been our favorite place in Yokohama. This time, we went to a different area to ride the Sea Bass. It is actually an advanced celebration for Papa Dave’s birthday on May 5, and we met with our Cebu friends: Guia, Mayen, and Portia. 🙂

We ate at a Yakiniku restaurant in Bay Quarter Mall. We also sang a Happy Birthday song to Pap Dave while holding his cake-like fruit platter. 🙂 And right after that, everyone’s excited to ride the Sea Bass.

Yokohama Sea Bass is a quick and convenient water bus service in Yokohama that provides an alternative form of transport between Yokohama Station and the main sightseeing areas in Yokohama Bay.

Taking the Sea Bass is a fun way to travel between these destinations and has the advantage of being a lot cheaper than the sightseeing cruises that run regular trips around the bay. Unlike taking a train or bus you can enjoy the fresh ocean breeze on the Sea Bass and get a good view of Yokohama’s iconic seafront buildings from your ocean-top vantage point. This service is especially enjoyable at night when the buildings along Yokohama Bay are illuminated. -yokohamastation.com

At Yokohama Station the Sea Bass terminal is located at the Bay Quarter Yokohama commercial complex, and this can be readily accessed via the East Exit of the station. Tickets can be bought immediately before boarding.

From the Sea Bass you can enjoy beautiful views of Yokohama’s most famous buildings such as the Intercontinental Hotel, Landmark Tower and the Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel. From the Yokohama Station terminal the Sea Bass runs to 3 destinations in Yokohama Bay. These are: Yokohama Hammerhead, Pier Akarenga, and in Yamashita Park. We chose to go down at Akarenga (Red Brick).

We then walked our way to Minato Mirai, played some UFO catcher machines in Cosmo World, and find some Coffee Shop at Landmark Tower. 🙂
And that was our quick ride to Sakuragicho via the Yokohama Sea Bass. Until next time! 🙂
