Viewpoint

Harbour View Park (Minato-no-Mieru Oka Koen)β β β β β Hilma's pick
The best view in Yokohama β the bluff where the British garrison stood in the 1860s, now a hilltop park with rose gardens and a panorama of the bay, the Bay Bridge, and the whole port. Free, quiet on weekday afternoons, and the first place you feel the season change.

Kanagawa Museum of Modern Literature
Attraction
Sep 17
Kanagawa Museum of Modern Literatureβ β β β Hilma's pick
A hushed stone building among camphor trees holding the manuscripts, diaries, and annotated books of Akutagawa, Natsume, Tanizaki and others. Akutagawa's letters from 1921 China β ink faded to sepia, still electric β are worth the climb alone.

Berrick Hall
Landmark
Sep 17
Berrick Hallβ β β β Hilma's pick
The largest surviving pre-war Western residence on the Bluff β built in 1930 for a British textile trader, preserved in full, open to the public. Wooden verandas, casement windows, and a sense of what it was like to live on this hill when the port was new.
