Cycling in Yokohama

Yokohama's specialty, Kiyoken Siumai.

A trip to Yokohama often means a trip to Chinatown. You can’t miss this vibrant neighborhood and its wide assortment of delicious eateries. It does get really crowded around lunch, though, so showing up on the earlier side of the rush is highly recommended. Arriving at 11 a.m. will let you figure out where to grab lunch without worrying about the crowds. You can have a nice meal to fuel up for the ride ahead.
Yokohama Park is nearby Chinatown, and there are lots of Docomo Cycle Ports around the park area to choose from. Once you grab a bike, it’s off we go!

Osanbashi Pier

Osanbashi Pier is Yokohama’s International Passenger Terminal—the place where giant cruise ships dock. Aside from being awed by the massive ships entering and exiting the harbor, the pier itself is a sight. It has a unique and modern wooden design inspired by waves, which sets it apart from similar structures. The views of Yokohama and the Bay Bridge from the pier are great for group pictures, too.
Zou no Hana Park is a low-key open space with great bay views. The name means “elephant’s trunk,” and the zou-no-hana ice cream from the cafe is shaped like an elephant, for those perfect Insta-pics!

The huge buildings in this area are spaced pretty close together, so there’ll be some stopping and starting while you ride along. But the distance is actually quite far to walk, and the train stations aren’t exactly close, either. So you’ll be glad to have a bike for this leg of the journey.

Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse

The Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse buildings are converted storage structures from the Meiji and Taisho periods. They’ve become a symbol of Yokohama, and now they house stylish restaurants and stores. On weekends there’s a variety of events in and around the facility, making it a popular place for Japanese people to visit, too. The general stores have a diverse selection of items worth your attention; those on the hunt for classy souvenirs will be very pleased.

If you’re looking for chic fashion, then the nearby Marine & Walk Yokohama is where you want to be. They have the exclusive brands that will make you feel fancy, plus cafes and dining options, too. The shopping complex’s vibe is upscale and airy, with plenty of greenery lining the stone walkways between sophisticated shops. Take the opportunity to treat yourself on a day out in the town.

Cup Noodles Museum

Another must-see on your Yokohama outing is the Cup Noodles Museum. Inside the museum you’ll find not only exhibits on the history of cup noodles, but you can also try your hand at making Chicken Ramen from scratch or create an original Cup Noodles with your very own design and ingredients! Then there’s the Cup Noodles Park, where you can experience quirky slides and play areas simulating what noodles go through in a factory. It’s all great fun, and you’ll come away with a newfound appreciation for the ubiquitous foodstuff. There’s nothing like bringing home a cup of noodles you created yourself!

Yokohama CreativeCity Center

The Yokohama CreativeCity Center, or YCC, was originally the building for the Daiichi Bank Yokohama Branch. With a history stretching back to 1929, its stone exterior and stately columns are a symbol of Yokohama’s past. The structure is now used for creative projects, such as workshops, events, and art exhibits.
Cafe Omnibus is a stylish space with vaulted ceilings and large windows that’s perfect for a coffee break. Try one of their artisanal sandwiches or indulge in one of their sweets with your beverage of choice. Then kick back and take a breather with your treats. After a quick sit down, it’s off to our final stop.

You can return your bike at the Cycle Ports near the Yokohama Sky Building, then head off to do some shopping around Yokohama Station now that your hands are free.
Be sure to check out Asobuild before you head home, though. It’s the newest commercial center in the area, and there are 6 floors with completely different vibes for you to explore. There’s a dining floor with famous Yokohama eateries, a fashionable basement lounge/bar, and rooftop sports facilities, plus a couple of escape rooms! It’s directly connected to Yokohama Station, so you can end your day on a high note before hopping back on the train home.
