Osaka-based amusement park developer Senyo Kogyo broke ground to construct aerial gondola transportation system in Minato Mirai, Yokohama. It is designed by Yamashita Sekkei while offshore works are undertaken by Toa Corporation and station buildings by P.S. Mitsubishi Construction.

630-meter YOKOHAMA AIR CABIN will connect JR Sakuragi Cho Station and Shinko Futo Pier. It will become the nation’s first permanent ropeway in urban areas when completed in March 2021. The project aims to not only provide a new mode of the urban transportation but give the city the new tourist attraction and landscape. The lighting will be designed by renowned designer Motoko Ishii. (2020/03/17)
