Minatomirai Pedestrian Bridge, Pedestrian footbridge in Nishi-ku, Japan.
Minatomirai Pedestrian Bridge is an elevated walkway in Yokohama that connects different parts of the Minatomirai district by spanning over railway lines and roads. The structure links office buildings and public spaces on either side, creating a continuous path for people to move through the area without descending to street level.
The bridge opened in 2010 to provide safe pedestrian routes in the rapidly developing waterfront district. It was built to address the growing needs of the Minatomirai area as it evolved into a major business and entertainment hub.
The bridge integrates with Minatomirai district's entertainment spaces, connecting visitors to Landmark Tower, Yokohama Museum of Art, and Red Brick Warehouse.
The walkway is well marked and has ramps for accessible entry from ground level. You can explore the bridge during daylight hours and enjoy free movement without vehicular traffic.
The bridge crosses an active railway line and offers glimpses of Yokohama's waterfront as you cross it. This blend of practical design and views of the harbor makes it a notable spot in the district.
