Kishamichi Promenade

Kishamichi Promenade is a pedestrian pathway in Minatomirai that runs along a former railway corridor. The walkway connects different areas of the modern district while preserving the trace of what once occupied this space.

The promenade was created on the site of a railway corridor that was crucial to Yokohama's development in the 1800s. When the waterfront district was redeveloped, this historic route was converted into a public pedestrian pathway.

The promenade takes its name from a former railway line that once ran through this area and shaped the neighborhood. Visitors can notice subtle details and markers throughout that reference this railway heritage.

The pathway is easy to walk and clearly marked as a linear route through the district. It is worth taking your time to explore the surroundings on both sides and discover the different areas that connect along this corridor.

Many visitors miss the subtle references to railway history that are woven into the pathway's design details. This careful blend of past and present makes the walk itself a quiet journey of discovery.
