Nippon Maru Memorial Park (日本丸メモリアルパーク)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A park where the beautiful sailing ship Nippon Maru—known as the "Swan of the Pacific"—is moored. The ship's interior is open as a museum where you can view how sailors once lived and how the ship was operated. Together with the adjacent Yokohama Port Museum, it's a beloved spot to experience Yokohama Port's history. The waterside promenade is pleasant for strolling, and the sailship silhouetted against Minato Mirai's buildings is an excellent photo spot.

Tips

About 5 minutes' walk from Sakuragi-cho Station toward Minato Mirai. Ship interior viewing is charged. There's little shade along the waterside, so take frequent breaks in summer.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. The ship's white hull looks beautiful in afternoon light.
