Ride Through Yokohama in an Open-Air Bus
Soon, the Sky Duck arrives at the boarding area.
During our visit, the Sky Duck was decorated with a limited-time Detective Conan wrap (available from April 10 to August 31, 2026). Fans could also enjoy special onboard announcements featuring Conan's exclusive voice.
Once everyone was on board, the tour began on land.
With its open-air design, the Sky Duck offers refreshing sea breezes and unobstructed views throughout the journey.

Because passengers sit higher than in a normal bus—almost at the same height as pedestrian traffic lights—you'll enjoy a completely different perspective of Yokohama's streets.
The route passes many of the city's most famous attractions, including:
Taman Memorial Nippon Maru
The historic Three Towers of Yokohama
Gudang Bata Merah Yokohama
Yokohama Cosmo World
It's an excellent introduction to the city's history and waterfront scenery, especially for first-time visitors.
Splash Into Yokohama Bay!
The highlight of the tour arrives as the bus approaches the water.
Everyone joins in the countdown...
Three... Two... One... SPLASH!
The Sky Duck splashes into Yokohama Bay.
With a huge splash, the Sky Duck drives straight into Yokohama Bay.
The dramatic splash into the water feels like a theme park attraction and is one of the highlights of the tour. It's sure to delight both kids and adults, so be sure to have your camera ready.
Discover Yokohama from the Water
Once in the water, the Sky Duck cruises through Yokohama Port, offering beautiful views of the city's waterfront.
Along the way, you'll enjoy excellent views of Cosmo Clock 21, one of Yokohama's most iconic landmarks and a favorite photo spot.

The Sky Duck also passes beneath the YOKOHAMA AIR CABIN, Japan's first urban ropeway, before heading farther out into Yokohama Port.
Cruise Past Yokohama's Famous Waterfront
The journey continues between Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse and Osanbashi Pier, where passengers often wave to people strolling along the waterfront.
If you're lucky, you may even see a luxury cruise ship docked nearby. During our visit, the magnificent Asuka II was anchored at the pier, and viewing the enormous ship from sea level made it feel even more impressive.
The cruise also offers beautiful views of:
・Yamashita Park
・Yokohama Bay Bridge
・Yokohama Hammerhead
Throughout the journey, the guide shares fascinating stories about Yokohama's history, architecture, and port culture, adding context to the scenery all around you.
