Honmoku Fishing Pier

The Honmoku Fishing Pier is a public jetty extending far into Tokyo Bay, giving visitors direct access to the water for fishing year-round. The structure accommodates anglers pursuing sardines, mackerel, and sea bass among other species in these productive waters.

The pier was built as part of Yokohama's modernization following the port's opening in 1859. It developed into an important fixture within the broader harbor infrastructure that transformed eastern Japan's maritime operations.

Local fishing traditions continue at this facility where experienced anglers share techniques and knowledge with newcomers while pursuing various fish species.

The pier welcomes visitors who can come to fish or simply watch the bay. It is helpful to bring your own gear or observe anglers already there to understand the best spots and techniques for the conditions.

On clear days, you can see both the Boso Peninsula to the north and the Miura Peninsula to the south from this pier. These sweeping views reveal Yokohama's geographic position at the intersection of multiple landmasses.
