The Top 10 Landmarks & Historical Buildings in Yokohama, 神奈川県

If you’re tired and hungry from wandering around Minatomirai, you could do much worse than to pop down into the narrow hallway of restaurants surrounding the century-old dry dock at the base of Landmark Tower. Many of the restaurants are small and popular and fill up fast, but if you’re flexible, you can…

It’s worth a walk out to the end of Osanbashi Pier for the view of Minatomirai. On an unusually clear day (= almost never), you can see Mt. Fuji through the skyline. Once you give up hope of that, the best views are at sunset when the giant cruise ships are not in port. You can get a fantastic unobstructed view…

Former Yokohama Settlement No. 91 Wall Ruins

This is the northwestern-most gate for Chinatown (technically the north gate). It was recently cleaned up (summer 2015) so it looks shiny and new. It makes it easy to find Chinatown if you’re heading to it from Kannai or Nihonodori.None of the major gates at the entries to Chinatown are old, to my knowledge…
