Yokohama Port Museum — Attraction in Yokohama

This was an awesome museum! It is very well done and I learned a ton about Yokohama history, how the port was built, and about boats and ships in general. The majority of the writing is in Japanese but just reading the English titles and looking at the visuals was worth while. There are multiple videos that have subtitles and a VR video experience that they can play in English. There are a few activities for kids. Highly recommend, especially if you have any interest in history or port operations/engineering. There was also a QR code for an English guide, but I didn’t even get around to it.

目の前には帆船日本丸が展示してあります。 「歴史と暮らしのなかの横浜港」をメインテーマに横浜港の歴史を学べる博物館。 常設展示は、7つの時代に分けて紹介する「横浜港の歴史」ゾーンと、横浜港のふ頭や帆船日本丸について学べる「横浜港の再発見」ゾーンから成ります。 日本丸の総帆展帆を映像で体験できるVRシアターは迫力満点です。

館内併設の「柳原良平アートミュージアム」ではサントリートリスウイスキーのキャラクターでお馴染みの「アンクルトリス」の作者・柳原良平の絵本・油彩画・リトグラフなど多彩な作品を展示。 。オリジナルグッズが揃うミュージアムショップもあります。

またすぐ近くには、水陸両用車？もありたくさんの観光客の方々が乗られていました。 面白そう。いつか乗ってみたい。

The sailing ship Nippon Maru is on display right in front of you. This museum teaches the history of Yokohama Port with the main theme of "Yokohama Port in History and Life". The permanent exhibition consists of the "History of Yokohama Port" zone, which introduces the Port of Yokohama in seven eras, and the "Rediscovering Yokohama Port" zone, where you can learn about the wharf of Yokohama Port and the sailing ship Nippon Maru. The VR theater, where you can experience the full sail of the Nippon Maru through video, is very impressive.

The "Yanagihara Ryohei Art Museum" located inside the museum exhibits a variety of works such as picture books, oil paintings, and lithographs by Yanagihara Ryohei, the author of "Uncle Toris", a familiar character of Suntory Toris Whisky. . There is also a museum shop with original goods.

There is also an amphibious vehicle nearby, and many tourists were riding it. It looks interesting. I would like to...

This museum has both an internal set of exhibits on the history of Yokohama harbor, including many models of ships built in the port and a few simulators, as well as an external exhibit of the sailing ship.

The museum has some English explanations in both the internal and external exhibits.

On some days the sails of the ship will be displayed, so if you can look for those...
