vlog｜午後から行く日帰りひとり旅の横浜観光モデルルート｜バラが美しい公園・山手の洋館・元町ショッピング・横浜中華街・山下公園
Hi! I’m in Yokohama today. The video this time is about a day trip from Tokyo to Yokohama (leaving in the afternoon). Filmed in May 2024. Since it’s the season when roses are beautiful, first, I’ll head to the park. Oh, excuse me. I’ll head to the America-yama Park and the Minatonomieru-oka Koen Park. I transfer escalators and arrive. Using exit 6, which has both an elevator and an escalator, is the correct choice. It’s a park that integrates the station building’s rooftop with the adjacent hill. Filmed in mid-May 2024. Beautiful flowers are blooming in the park. Oh! The Yokohama Bay Bridge. I’m starting to appreciate flowers more and more each year. Next, I’ll head to the nearby Minatonomieruika Koen(Harbor View Hill Park). I’ll stroll through the quiet residential area of Yamate-cho. The area of slopes. After 5 minutes, we arrive. It is during the flower event. The city of Yokohama is filled with flowers and greenery. Even the classic tourist spots are full of flowers. The feeling of missing the Long Weekend is soothed by watching the flowers. There is an English rose garden in the park. There are plenty of flowers, mainly roses, filling the area. Walking through the flower tunnel feels like stepping into a storybook. The pastel colors are lovely, aren’t they? It’s truly like a painting. I feel so glad to be here today. The Yokohama Bay Bridge. True to the park’s name, you get a great view of the harbor from the observatory. The Minatomirai district. Oh, and look at that in the distance! The Tokyo Skytree! Next, I’ll take a stroll around Yamate-cho. Yamate-cho is home to many charming buildings. They seem like they could be straight out of a Studio Ghibli animated film, don’t they? The only remaining "Western-Japanese hybrid residence" in Yokohama, a wooden Western-style house built in 1909. This church has its origins in a church founded in 1863. While walking, I stumbled upon a retro-looking telephone booth. Yamate-cho developed as a foreign settlement after 1867. By the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, the Yamate area suffered significant damage. It was rebuilt in the early Showa period. The Yamate area and the surroundings of Yamashita Park were not heavily damaged during the air raids of 1945 in World War II, so many old buildings still remain. I wanted to have a cup of tea at that café, but the line is stretching out the door… It’s a weekday though. There is a Western-style house located about a five-minute walk from the park. Built in 1926 as the private residence of Swiss silk trader Fritz Ehrismann, it was relocated and restored in 1990. And amazingly, it is open to the public for free. You take off your shoes at the entrance and change into slippers to tour the interior. This residence was designed by Antonin Raymond, known as the "Father of Modern Architecture." The furniture, including chairs and tables, was also designed by Raymond. On the second floor, there are exhibits about the Western-style houses in the Yamate area. What is the life of the Ehrismann family in a foreign land? There was a tearoom inside, but it also had a long line, so I decided to skip it. Instead, I have a jelly drink to recharge. Next, I’m heading to the neighboring Western-style house. This house is also open to the public for free. It was used as a residence until before World War II and was donated to the Catholic Marianist religious organization by the family in 1956. Afterwards, it was used as a dormitory for St. Joseph International School until 2000. This was the residence of the British trader B.R. Berrick, designed in 1930. It is the largest pre-war foreign residence still standing in Yamate. The house was designed by the American architect J.H. Morgan. Among the Western-style houses in Yamate, it is the only one with a room designated for children, recreated to resemble a small child’s room. This residence also has a history of being used as the Honorary Consulate of Finland. I would love to live in a house like this. After touring the Western-style houses in Yamate, I’ll go shopping. A five-minute walk from the last house brought me to Motomachi, Yokohama’s chic shopping street. There are stylish ladies here. I head to a store I have wanted to visit for a long time. It was founded in 1901 as a silk export business. Later, it became a linen store for the foreign residents in the area. Today, it remains a popular, long-established lace specialty shop. I bought two lace-trimmed towel handkerchiefs! They have shops all over Japan, and the blue towel handkerchief on the left is exclusive to their Motomachi main store. It’s called the "Marine," a Motomachi main store exclusive towel handkerchief themed after Yokohama, with lace featuring a sea theme that caught my eyes. I also bought a seasonal towel handkerchief, "Chamomile," with its flowers and the intriguing Katakana writing for "Chamomile." I’m starting to feel the urge to collect these seasonal limited-edition towel handkerchiefs. Now, I’m heading across the river to Yokohama’s Chinatown. It’s such a unique atmosphere compared to Motomachi! Established in 2006, it’s a Taoist temple dedicated to the goddess Mazu. Chinatown always has this exotic feel whenever I visit—it doesn’t feel like Japan at all. Feeling a bit peckish, I made a detour to a shop where you can buy Chinese baked goods like mooncakes. After picking up sweets, I head to a nearby park bustling with local elementary school kids. The egg tarts are ¥250 each. I’ve always wanted to try the shop’s specialty egg tart. Komen is a specialty shop for Chinese sweets and dim sum founded in 1952. Their egg tarts have a crispy pastry crust I like it! The custard cream is subtly sweet with a silky, pudding-like texture. Sorry for showing you a half-eaten treat. They brought craftsmen from Hong Kong over 50 years ago to faithfully recreate the local flavors. I should visit them again. Just a few minutes’ walk from the park, you’ll find this place here. The first floor is a shop that sells Chinese tea and tea utensils, while the second floor of the shop serves as a tea house. You can enjoy various types of Chinese tea along with desserts and meals here. They have a wide selection of teas to choose from. It’s hard to decide what to drink, isn’t it? They also offer a paid rental service for tea utensils. The menu for meals is extensive, and please note that the establishment operates under a one-drink-order system. At this tea house, they provide explanations about the teas. Shop Attendant: "I’ll warm up the tea cups for you." Shop Attendant: "Now, let me briefly explain what each one contains." "The largest red fruit here is the jujube fruit. The medium-sized dried red fruit is hawthorn berry. The smallest red fruit is goji berry. The cracked brown fruit is longan, which is related to lychee. The yellow flower is chrysanthemum, and the largest white one is white fungus. The base is pu-erh tea with rock sugar. In total, there are eight varieties." Shop Attendant: "I will let this steep for you now. If you have any hot water or tea you no longer need, please use this container (on the right). The Tea has rock sugar in it, so the first or second infusion will be lightly sweet." Goku Happocha (Eight Treasure Tea) ¥1,200 Mango Cookie ¥240 Enjoy a solo tea time with their original tea and Mango Cookie. Here is the Mango Cookie. It’s a Chinese pastry filled with mango paste. The cookie crumbles delicately and pairs well with Chinese tea. It is said that the eight treasures tea is a traditional health and wellness tea blend. It tastes good! Thanks to the rock sugar, it’s not bitter at all. The dried fruits that came with the tea complement it perfectly! This is such a luxurious moment—simply the best. Most people come here with others, but you can also enjoy the tea alone. I bought the tea from the shop on the first floor to enjoy at home. This is a shop I always want to visit whenever I come to Chinatown. Chinatown has many fortune-telling shops. Next time, I might try getting a fortune reading. Leaving Chinatown, I head to my next destination. Just a short walk away is Yokohama’s landmark, Yamashita Park. Every year, the roses here are so beautiful! The park opened in 1930 and was created as part of the reconstruction efforts after the Great Kanto Earthquake, using landfill rubble. This area is called the "Future Rose Garden," with around 160 varieties and 1,900 rose bushes planted. This rose garden is right in front of a ship named the Hikawa Maru, which is moored at the port. Given that it’s a park, many people bring their dogs here. To the right, you can see the symbol of Yokohama Port. The tower’s 29th and 30th floors have observation decks that require an entrance fee. The hotel, which opened in 1927, is a historic establishment. It’s a classic hotel in the European style. The Hotel New Grand, known for its long history as a Western-style hotel in Japan, has hosted the legendary comedian Charlie Chaplin. The Hikawa Maru, a cargo-passenger ship, was built in 1930 to service the route between Japan and Seattle, the US. It crossed the Pacific for 11 years and three months. During the war, it was used as a repatriation ship and a special naval hospital ship. After the war, it was used for repatriation transport before resuming its Seattle route. You can watch a past video showing the tour of the Hikawa Maru. Please check it out if you’re interested. Leaving Yamashita Park, I head to the Yamashita Rinko Line Promenade. It’s a walkway that connects the Shinko District with Yamashita Park. This promenade was once the site of a freight train line. Osanbashi Along the way, you can see the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse and the Yokohama Grand Intercontinental Hotel. One of the buildings known as the Yokohama Three Towers, completed in 1934. The other two towers are the Kanagawa Prefectural Government Building and the Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall. After descending from the promenade, I discovered a charming shop. It appears to be a bakery. The staff is just setting up the sunshade. They have an array of bread and scones displayed. The breads are being sold beside a car, and they also have an eat-in space. With my purchases complete, it’s time to head to the next location. Just a short walk from the shop is Ōsanbashi Pier, where large cruise ships from both domestic and international routes dock. Unfortunately, there were no ships in port today. Since its opening in 1859, Yokohama has remained a bustling port city with many people coming and going. I was hoping to see a large ship since I made the trip here. The rooftop is a plaza open to the public, and anyone can freely enter. The beautiful scenery of Yokohama unfolds before your eyes! The rooftop has a park-like atmosphere with its lovely wood deck and grass. The 360-degree panoramic view is definitely worth seeing. Feeling a bit hungry, I decided to eat the bread I bought earlier. What a luxurious view to enjoy with my snack. Hamapan – ¥230 This salted bread pairs perfectly with the flavor of aonori (green seaweed). This bread is perfect for the seaside. Today, I decided to come to Yokohama in the afternoon, and I managed to enjoy quite a lot in a short time. I’ll go home before the evening rush hour (which in Japan is from 5 PM to 8 PM on weekdays). Now, I’m off to Nihon Odori street. Here, you’ll find one of the buildings known as the Yokohama Three Towers (nicknamed the "King’s Tower"), which is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. Thank you for watching and see you in the next video!
