  • 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. Plenty to see and learn without it. Also a small, cute gift shop. Lockers available for small/medium bags.
  • You're not allowed to take pictures in most places in the museum which doesn't make much sense because it's mostly diorama and information boards. The museum does provide a lot of good history on the port. The Nippon Maru was worth a visit. You get to walk through much of the ship.
