Transportation Guide to Yokohama Yamate Western-style House｜Experience the Exotic Style of the Meiji Era at Close Range

#TokyoTrafficStrategy Want to travel through time and walk into the "Western window display" of the Meiji era? The Yokohama Yamate Western House area is definitely a must-visit place for you! This secret place hidden among the high-rise buildings in Minato Mirai brings together 7 century-old houses, a rose maze and magnificent harbor views. With zero admission fees and few crowds, it's easy to shoot a blockbuster like "Downton Abbey"! The most convenient way to travel is by train: From Tokyo, you can take the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line to Yokohama Station, which takes about 30 minutes. After arriving at Yokohama Station, transfer to the Yokohama Municipal Subway Blue Line and get off at Motomachi-Chukagai Station. Exit from Exit 3 and walk about 10 minutes to reach the core area. If you are departing from Shibuya, you can take the Tokyu Toyoko Line directly to Yokohama Station and then transfer to the subway. Bus routes are more flexible: There are many bus routes from the East Exit of Yokohama Station that go directly to the Yamate Western House area, such as Bus No. 8 and Bus No. 148, and get off at the "Yamanote-cho" or "Kyuryuchi-hondori" stops. You can stop by to admire the street scenes along the way and feel the relaxed atmosphere of Yokohama. Here's what to do after arriving: First, you must visit the "Diplomat's House (former British Consulate)", taste the same afternoon tea as the royal family, and explore the earthquake cracks in the basement; then go to "Berrick Hall", freeze the harbor scenery through the four-leaf clover window frame, and make a wish in front of the Lion Fountain. You can visit various scenic spots on foot in the park and experience the exotic customs in depth in 2 hours! Whether it's a couple's date, solo exploration, or taking photos and checking in, this route can meet your needs!
