Tsurumi Ward

Among the wards of Yokohama, Tsurumi Ward stands out for its position between the Tsurumi River and the industrial shoreline of Tokyo Bay. The river flows east through the ward to its mouth in the bay, while the waterfront forms part of the Keihin industrial zone shared by Yokohama and Kawasaki. Inland, Sōji-ji is one of the two head temples of the Sōtō school of Zen Buddhism; its present site was established after the temple moved from the Noto Peninsula in the early 20th century. Busy rail lines also connect the district closely with central Yokohama and Tokyo. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Yokohama and Tokyo Bay.

Sagami Bay and the foothills of the Tanzawa Mountains shape much of Kanagawa Prefecture — the coast supports port cities and seaside communities, while the interior rises toward forested uplands. Yokohama, the prefectural capital, developed into a major international port after opening to foreign trade in 1859; its waterfront remains central to the city’s identity. To the west, Hakone brings volcanic terrain and hot springs, while Kamakura preserves important Buddhist temples and the Great Buddha at Kōtoku-in. Along the Shōnan coast near Fujisawa, beaches and Enoshima link daily life closely to the sea. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Kanagawa Prefecture.

Among the countries of East Asia, Japan stands out for its volcanic archipelago, stretching from the cool north of Hokkaido to subtropical Okinawa. Mount Fuji, the nation’s highest mountain, rises above central Honshu, while the Pacific Ocean and the Seto Inland Sea have long shaped settlement, fishing and travel. Tokyo pairs dense urban life with major museums and neighbourhood traditions; Kyoto preserves temples, gardens and the legacy of Japan’s imperial court. Seasonal customs give journeys a changing rhythm, from spring cherry blossom viewing to autumn leaves. Regional cooking is equally varied, with sushi, ramen and local specialties reflecting coastlines, climate and agriculture.
