Yamashita Park
Like much of Yokohama's modern waterfront, Yamashita Park is built on reclaimed land. The long, narrow park was built using debrisfrom the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923, which devastated the city. Opened in 1930, the park is a pleasant stripof green affording good views of the Bay Bridge and oceangoing traffic on thewater. A pier extending from the parkis home to the Hikawa-maru, nicknamed the "Queen of the Pacific," the lastsurvivor of Japan's ocean liner fleet, now permanently berthed here. The ship is presently closed, but scheduledto reopen in Spring of 2008, when visitors will again be able to enjoy her fineart deco interiors and the onboard historical museum.More Info.:
