Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

Shinjuku Gyoen was initially the private garden of a feudal lord starting back in 1772. It became an imperial garden for the emperor and his guests from 1879. WWII destroyed most of the garden, but it was rebuilt and opened up to the public in 1949.

Full Moon over the Bay

I love the serenity of a full moon on a clear winter night with no clouds or wind. On a night like this, the Yokohama Bay Bridge stands out. One can even see the Wing Bridge (Tsurumi-Tsubasa Bashi—in the background to the left).

Pukarisanbashi Pier

This small pier is primarily for dinner and sightseeing boats that travel across the Port of Yokohama offering passengers grand views of the bay. The pier also includes a floating restaurant, Pier 21. And if you’re lucky, you can catch a view of the sail training ship Miraie, which is a 3-masted topsail schooner that anchors at Pukarisanbashi Pier when making a call at Yokohama Port.
