To get to the Nippon Maru Dock (shipyard), you can go down the stairs located along the moving walkway that connects Sakuragicho and Minato Mirai.
There is a seating area near the road towards Kishamichi, facing the front of the Nippon Maru dock.

Two 3-seater iron benches are installed here.
Trees are planted around the benches, making this a great spot to relax in the shade while gazing at the Nippon Maru and the Ferris wheel.
Among the benches around the Nippon Maru, "Nippon Maru Dock, front side of the hull" and "Near the Sakura-dori street, under the moving walkway stairs" are popular. Perhaps because people don't notice this seating area, no one was using it even on a Saturday afternoon.
It might be a hidden gem among the benches around the Nippon Maru.
It seems like a good place for couples on dates or families with children.
Also, it seems like a great spot to enjoy your lunch, whether you're in Sakuragicho or Minato Mirai.
If the weather is nice, it might become a romantic spot at night too!?
Why not try using it as a seating area around Sakuragicho, Minato Mirai, and the Nippon Maru?
