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.

Long exposure of the Red Brick Warehouse No. 1
Built in 1913, the warehouse was one of the first customs buildings in Yokohama. The warehouse survived the huge 1923 earthquake that leveled the rest of Yokohama and Tokyo. After surviving air raids during WWII, the warehouse came under the control of the U.S. forces until 1956. After extensive restoration and structural reinforcement, the buildings were opened to the public in 2002 becoming a popular destination for family outings, couples on a date, artists of all kinds, and tourists from the world over. Many events large and small featuring an international flare are held year round at the warehouse and the plaza next door.

Long Exposure of the Yokohama Customs Building aka "The Queen"
The original customs building was destroyed in the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. A new building incorporating reinforced  concrete and steel was completed in 1934. During the 1960s, the city of Yokohama took stewardship of the building as it had become one of the many symbols of the city and converted it into a museum focusing on the Yokohama’s history as Japan’s gateway to the West. Much of the original Romanesque art style with beige porcelain tiles throughout the interior have been preserved creating an opportunity to slip back to a time when architectural aesthetics were just as important as functionality.

Tomitaro Hara (1868-1939), a wealthy merchant and tycoon of the silk trade, originally built Sankeien Garden for his personal use. In 1914, he acquired an abandoned 3-story pagoda, which was originally built in 1457. Hara had it disassembled, shipped, restored, and reassembled in his garden.

The "Cascade Garden" features a stepped water cascade on a hill crowded with over 700 plants of about 80 varieties of roses on the site of the former British Consulate General's residence, which was  in use until about the late 1860s. Yokohama city had the foresight to preserve the old buildings and gardens dating back more than 155 years. During full bloom, the park swarms with couples on a date, young families, and elderly couples holding hands.

Yamashita Park was the brainchild of Marshall Martin, a weathy British expatriate who convinced the government to use debris from the aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 to fill a portion of the bay and create a beautiful park and dock for the Hikawa-maru, an ocean liner that sailed between Japan and North America.

Honmoku Park

---

Taking a rest at Honmoku Sancho Park in Naka Ward, Yokohama. The park connects numerous hilltops that once looked over the sandy beaches of Negishi Bay in what became the Port of Yokohama. With rapid development of land reclamation for urban and industrial use, the beaches have vanished. Fortunately, the park offers a great escape from the industrial and urban hum of Negishi Bay, and has preserved some of the natural habitat that has always existed in this part of Yokohama.

High-profile container-handling gantry cranes on the docks of Honmoku Pier as seen from Honmoku Sancho Park in the Port of Yokohama. In 2013, these so-called "mega-gantry cranes" were the largest in Japan, but quickly lost that status as the size of ships increased so much to require even larger gantry cranes.
