Yokohama (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Pref.)

The gateway to the oceans, the roof of the Osanbashi Yokohama International Passenger Terminal is open 24 hours every day. Here you can enjoy a 360 panoramic view from the observation point lovingly known as "The Whale's Back." In addition, the nightscape at the Yokohama Minato Mirai 21 district is popular among foreigners and there are cruise boats available.

This vast Japanese garden was established by Sankei Hara, an industrialist and art lover who made his fortune in the raw silk market. There are 17 old structures on the grounds of the garden, and 10 of these buildings have been designated as important cultural properties. These structures have been skillfully woven into the natural landscape of the garden, and you can also enjoy traditional Japanese maccha (powdered green tea) served with Japanese cakes.
