    Kanagawa Pref. Yokohamashi Naka-ku Yamashitachou Yamashita Park area destination
    "This cargo and passenger ship was constructed for the Seattle route in 1930. It is a grand vessel, with a total weight of 11,622 tons, and a total length of 163.3 meters.

    Kanagawa Pref. Yokohamashi Naka-ku Nihonodori 1
    The Kanagawa Prefectural Government Office Building, which gives a sense of majestic harmony between Japanese style and a European building, is affectionately known as the “King’s tower”. It has been designated as the first National Registered Tangible Cultural Property in the prefecture, and a viewing is also available. The exterior of the building is also worth seeing, and a historical exhibit room and a roof top observatory can be visited from 8:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. on weekdays. It is two minutes’ walk from Nihon-odori Station on the Tokyu Minatomirai Line.

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
