Yokohama Honmoku Pier

This tower was built in 1986 and has a function of a lighthouse. It is named Yokohama Port Symbol Tower which stands at Honmoku 'D' Pier of Yokohama Port. Its height is 58.5 meter. It sends messages and signals to passenger ships and cargo boats which enter and leave Yokohama Port for their safety. I went up to its observatory.
It was Friday afternoon.

You can see Yokohama Bay Bridge in the middle of this picture.

Another picture from the ovservatory.

Then I went down to the foot of the tower. This is a cargo boat APL. It stands for American President Lines.
