Hello everyone

In the beginning of February, I
visited YOKOHAMA, joined the Chinese New Year festival in China town and
took a walk around the harbor area. Since it was my first visit
there, I was trying to find interesting things from the tourist’s
point of view.

I have written an article about Yokohama China town :

Have fun in YOKOHAMA Part I レトロ横浜巡り~中華街~

After visited China town, I went to Yamate area.

14:00 in Yamate area

In the Yamate  area remains many former foreign settlements.
The most famous building includes :

Yamate111 Ban-kan
British House Yokohama
(Both are  designated as Cultural Property by the City of Yokohama)

Also,there are many lovely parks in this area, such as:
Minatono-Mieruoka park
This park has an observatory providing the best view in Yokohama.
Motomachi Park
The park includes several facilities reminiscent of the history of Yokohama.
Yamate Italian Garden
The Italian consulate was located on the site from 1880 to 1886
Yamate Park
The first Western-style park in Japan opened in 1870.


Here are some photos taken in this area; I think this area is really similar to  Europe.

After the tour in Yamate area, I took a walk in Minato(Harbor area).

On the way to the AKARENGA(Yokohama red brick warehouse), I found a big GUNDAM figure in a European style building. I think it’s really funny. The Gundam doesn’t fit in the atmosphere.

(There was a wedding ceremony in this house, and the Gundam was a present from the couple’s friend!)

 17:00 at AKARENGA (Yokohama red brick warehouse) 赤レンガ

Akarenga is a historical building that is currently used as a complex which includes a shopping mall, banquet hall and event venues.



I want to recommend a coffee shop in the Akarenga. “Cafe bellbe
The fried bread with curry and cheese here was so yummy!!!

After my dinner, I took a walk around the Minato area, enjoyed the night scenery
