Yamashita Koen, Yokohama
Yamashita Koen in Yokohama is a popular place for people to relax and enjoy. Couples stroll up and down the waterfront, families picnic on the grass, children play. The park was formally constructed after the 1923 earthquake, but has a history back to the opening of the Port to the West over 150 years ago.

Yokohama Night View
On the last night of my trip to Yokohama I decided to brave the cold and take some pictures of the night lights. I didn't get much further than the bottom of the hotel complex, but was able to capture some of the different colors on display around Minato Mirai.
