Yesterday we went to the Dockyard Garden and found the place very interesting, a combination of very old and modern architecture. Towering above the old stone dock is the architectural wonder the Yokohama Landmark Tower. Apparently the old dock was dismantled for the construction of the Tower and then painstakingly reconstructed, a great job was done . Now when you walk down the steps into the dock you can look up at the tower which joins it , an awesome sight . The dock which was known as No, 2 Dock was built in 1896 the oldest stone built commercial dock in Japan. It belonged to the Yokohama Dock Company and ceased operation in 1973 so it sure would have seen some historic ships enter over that time . It is marvellous that this dock has been incorporated into the new development so future generations can see what was there before their time, well done to all involved, a must place to visit when in Yokohama

I had a chance to pop in. It was interesting but did not have much time. Nice area with a lot of concrete!
