The Osanbashi Whale Seat is a participatory outdoor projection mapping that boasts one of the largest scales in Japan.
The mother and baby whales projected onto the wooden deck evoke the feeling of traveling together across the vast ocean.
In particular, the light whales seen from Osanbashi are breathtaking. As you watch the mother and baby whales gracefully swimming through the night in Yokohama, take your time to enjoy a leisurely stroll!
