What from away looks just like a narrow strip of land, is indeed the roof deck of Yokohama’s Ōsanbashi International Passenger Terminal; a lovely spot where young and less young couples enjoy walking, taking a seat and staring at the sea.

The futuristic design of this wooden pier is definitely striking and confirms (provided there would it actually be the need to look for further evidence) the Japanese mastery of wood.

Approaching the Terminal, I had the unexpected but pleasant surprise to admire, in addition to the Pier itself, the Diamond Princess of London, which clearly accounted for the visit to this Yokohama attraction to be more enjoyable than expected.
