Nippon Maru and Yokohama Port Museum

Nippon Maru (帆船日本丸) and the Yokohama Port Museum (横浜みなと博物館) offer a fascinating glimpse into Japan's maritime history. Built in 1930, the Nippon Maru is a retired sailing ship that now serves as a museum, docked permanently at Minato Mirai.

Located right across from the ship, the Yokohama Port Museum delves into the history of the port, one of Japan's most important gateways for international trade. The museum features exhibits that explore the evolution of the port and its significance to the development of Yokohama and Japan’s maritime industry.
