Day 7: Yokohama - Swan of the Pacific
First, I would like to introduce a distinctive feature of Minato Mirai area that symbolizes Yokohama as a port city (kota pelabuhan). Oh well, my grandfather's name means NAVY, so here it is: a beauty from the sea, Swan of the Pacific, Nippon-maru.
Nippon Maru is a handsome ship that sailed 1,830,000 kilometers between 1930 and 1984. Yokohama Maritime Museum, which specializes in ports and ships, is located beside the Nippon-maru, and in the "Trip Around the Port of Yokohama" corner, historical materials displayed span the period from the arrival of Commodore Perry's black ships up until the present day.
