Yokohama Sea Bass – Water Bus Service Between Yokohama Station & Yokohama Bay

Yokohama Sea Bass is a quick and convenient water bus service in Yokohama that provides an alternative form of transport between Yokohama Station and the main sightseeing areas in Yokohama Bay.

Taking the Sea Bass is a fun way to travel between these destinations and has the advantage of being a lot cheaper than the sightseeing cruises that run regular trips around the bay. Unlike taking a train or bus you can enjoy the fresh ocean breeze on the Sea Bass and get a good view of Yokohama’s iconic seafront buildings from your ocean-top vantage point. This service is especially enjoyable at night when the buildings along Yokohama Bay are illuminated.
