Walk Yokohama along the harbour
Yokohama is Japan's second largest city, a port that opened to the world in 1859, with a long harbourside promenade, a big Chinatown and old Western houses on the Bluff. FOG starts the map dark and clears only what you walk, and the waterfront draws a long, bright line.
Minato Mirai to the park
Minato Mirai is the modern waterfront district, with the Landmark Tower, the Cosmo World big wheel and the Red Brick Warehouses, two old customs buildings now full of shops. A promenade runs from there along the water past the Osanbashi Pier, whose wooden deck rolls like waves.
Yamashita Park, a long waterfront park, runs beside the harbour with the Hikawa Maru, an old ocean liner, moored alongside.
Chinatown and the Bluff
Yokohama Chinatown, just inland from the park, is the largest in Japan, a grid of streets with ornate gates and hundreds of restaurants. The Kanteibyo temple stands at its centre.
The Bluff, Yamate, rises behind it, with old Western houses, the Foreign General Cemetery and the Harbour View Park, which looks over the bay and the Bay Bridge. Motomachi, a shopping street at its foot, links the two.
Coverage
The route from Minato Mirai along the waterfront to Yamashita Park, through Chinatown and up the Bluff is about five kilometres and covers the heart of the port.
Summers are hot and humid, and spring and autumn are the best seasons. Tokyo is half an hour away by train.
How FOG keeps score here
FOG starts with the whole world under fog. Every place you physically walk clears a circle of roughly 120 metres around you, and that ground stays clear for good. It keeps working with the app closed and the screen off once you allow background location, so the walk to dinner counts as much as the planned loop.
There is no account, no sign-up and no cloud. The trail lives on your phone and nowhere else, and you can export a GPX backup whenever you like. Exploring is free; one purchase of FOG Unlimited adds the higher ranks, all five character paths and history import, with no subscription.
