Glass and Steel


The Yokohama Grand Inter-Continental Hotel is one of my favorite landmarks in the waterfront area of Yokohama. I'll probably never be able to stay in this hotel, but at least we can take pictures of it from outside!


The Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu is a little bit older and more affordable. Depending on the room, you get a wonderful view of the entire bay. By the same token, depending on the room, your "wonderful" view might be blocked by Yokohama Grand Inter-Continental Hotel.


With all the fireworks we had tonight, a full moon was also shining down upon us! A night of nights for sure!


Around the area, they have pieces of old equipment, pumps, etc., that were used when this area used to be an industrial dockyard. It's fun to see what countries these items came from and love to imagine how they were able to offload such huge and heavy items of the ships back in the days without hi-tech cranes!
