A building with impressive windows in the shape of a four-leaf clover. It's been a while since I last visited, but it's still as cute as ever!! The lovely blue walls and tiles are also adorable! It's like a dollhouse. ---------------------------------------------------- ◆Building🏠 　Berick Hall 　72 Yamate-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, 231-0862 ◆Access🚶 　12 minutes walk from Motomachi-Chukagai Station ◆Price💰 　Free ◆Reservations 　None ◆Photos📷 　OK ---------------------------------------------------- Retro Stroll | Walking around the town in a kimono ↓Recommended for these people! - I like retro - I want to know where I can wear a kimono👘 - I want to spend my weekends and travels relaxing -------------------------------------------------- [Retro Stroll's Thoughts🕰️] Retro Stroll was started with the desire to make people feel that "old" is "beautiful" and stop to look at it. There are many wonderful historic buildings in Japan, but they are difficult to maintain and are often demolished. Not only buildings, but also traditional Japanese objects and techniques. I hope that this will be an opportunity for as many people as possible to look at old things again before they disappear from Japan. If you find a place that catches your eye, please take a retro stroll and take a break! ---------------------------------------------------- #AirportTravel

#japantrip #travel #couplestrip #museums #myitinerary #citydaytours The best of the historic foreign mansions in the Yamate area. A sprawling and beautiful old home-turned-museum, with furniture placement and signage set up to emulate and explain the lifestyle of the residents of a bygone era. There is also a piano inside of the main foyer that someone will be playing on occasion. Anyway, it's spacious and big. I went to see the Western-style houses in order from Port View Hill Park, and even though it is a private residence, it is larger than the former British Consul General's official residence

#YokohamaSightseeing A long-established live music venue in Yokohama. Located along the harbor, it's so Yokohama! I love this venue. The night view is also beautiful. If you don't want to walk from Minatomirai Station, I recommend taking a bus from Sakuragicho Station. It's right next to the Chokiba bus stop.
