YOKOHAMA AIR CABIN Sakuragicho Station

Went here last year and I must say the Yokohama Air Cabin offers a unique and enjoyable experience with fantastic views of the Minato Mirai area. The ride is smooth and provides a great perspective of the cityscape, especially at night when the lights are beautiful. It's a quick and comfortable way to travel between Sakuragicho and the Shinko district. While it might seem a bit pricey for the short ride, the views definitely make it worthwhile for tourists and even locals looking for a different vantage point of Yokohama. The cabins are clean and spacious enough for a small group. Overall, a pleasant and memorable addition to the Yokohama experience.

My ride on the Yokohama Air Cabin was fun. I purchased the ¥2,500 round trip ticket with ferris wheel. The gondola ride lasted about five minutes. The views were awesome. Since this was the last leg of my Japan trip, my feet were starting to hurt. I'm glad I didn't have to walk anymore. 10 out of 10, I would do this again. Next time, I'll come at night. The views will be better at night.

A short but super fun ride in Yokohama! I think this is the best starting point and first activity in the city because the other end station is Unga Park where most Yokohama attractions are: Cup Noodles Museum, Yokohama Clock, Chinatown, etc. I got the cabin all by myself. The line is super short, typical as people wait for their cabins, even though it was a weekend when I came here. You also don’t need to buy ticket in advance, you can purchase it on site and they actually offer you a package ticket for the air cabin and the Yokohama Clock. Easily a good activity to try if you are in the city!

The Yokohama air cabin is a very unique experience. I think one of the only city I know that has this type of city air cabins in the world. ( Macao and Chong Qing). It rides is very smooth and it gets you from the train station right to a cool looking shopping mall right in front of the iconic red brick Yokohama warehouse. I think it’s a must visit if you are not afraid of highs. The one way tickets price is 1000 yen and round trip is 1800 yen.

Nice view and save time to get to the island. Duration: 5min Staff will ask how many people are together and they will guide you to enter the cabin. So no matter if you come with family or friends, or alone, they will let you have the whole cabin, not shared with other people. Lucky for those who come alone, you will get the whole cabin and have some nice pictures

The ride was really short, it was probably least than 5 mins for ¥1000, but the view was so amazing! Will recommend to go at night time and if you have a postcard, don’t forget your stamp!

Great to ride at night to see the bright and colourful lights emanating from the buildings, boats and Ferris wheel. It's a relatively short ride though. We took a one-way trip then leisurely strolled back to admire the views along the bridge.

Yokohama Air Cabin is an urban cable car that connects Sakuragicho Station to the waterfront area, offering scenic views of Minato Mirai. The Good Unique aerial views of Yokohama's skyline Convenient connection between transit and attractions Glass-bottom cabins available for more excitement Short 5-minute ride saves walking time The Not-So-Good Relatively expensive for the short duration (¥1,000 round trip) Limited operating hours (typically 11am-8pm) Can get crowded during peak times Doesn't operate in bad weather Best For Tourists wanting a quick city overview Photographers seeking unique angles Those with limited mobility Final Thoughts While not essential transportation, the Air Cabin offers a fun experience with great views. Worth considering for a memorable perspective of Yokohama, but may not be ideal for budget-conscious travelers.
