#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!

#TokyoItinerary The Yamate area, adjacent to Yokohama Chinatown, hides an exotic atmosphere frozen in time. Since Yokohama opened its port in the Edo period, this place has been a residence for foreigners. Dozens of well-preserved Western-style buildings still stand here. Walking here on a sunny day is like walking into a quiet old European movie. 🌿Selected walking routes (all free to visit!) Slowly going up the lush slope, 6 historical buildings of different styles string together a unique experience: 1. Yokohama City Igirisukan (Former British Consulate General) The Victorian-style building, with red bricks and green vines, displays diplomatic documents and daily utensils from the past. The lawn outside the balcony is a great place for sitting quietly and daydreaming. 2. Yamate 111 The wooden Western-style house is paired with a Japanese-style courtyard. The living room with warm yellow tones is full of retro atmosphere, and the garden by the window is suitable for taking Japanese-style photos. 3. Yamate 234 This Nordic-style building is famous for its "wave roof". The interior displays trade materials from the port opening period, and the second-floor terrace overlooks Yokohama Port. 4. Ellisman Residence The former residence of an American pastor, the white wooden building is surrounded by tulips and roses, and it looks like a fairy tale scene when the flowers bloom in spring. 5. ブラフ18th episode (Picture 7) The most popular check-in spot! The pure white Western-style house is matched with green curtains, and the stairs and lawn in front of the door form a classic picture, which is suitable for taking fresh photos. 6. Diplomat’s House (Important Cultural Property) The villa combines Western and Japanese elements. The stained glass in the entrance and the crystal chandelier in the living room are particularly exquisite, showing the beauty of the fusion of different eras. ⚠️Practical Tips • Anti-insect measures: There are more mosquitoes in wooded areas, so remember to spray insect repellent. • Dress code: You are required to take off your shoes when visiting the museum. We recommend wearing loafers or shallow-mouthed shoes that are easy to put on and take off. • Time arrangement: The whole slow walk takes about 4-6 hours. It is recommended to start in the morning and have a picnic and rest on the lawn of Yamate Park in the afternoon. 🚃Transportation From Tokyo Station, take the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line to Yokohama Station (about 25 minutes), then transfer to the Tokyo Metro Blue Line to Chuagai Station. It is a 10-minute walk to the Yamate Western-style buildings. Leaving the bustling Chinatown and turning into this green slope, the pace of time suddenly slows down. The moss on the brick wall, the bouquets on the windowsill, the sunlight in the gaps of the stairs, every detail is worth stopping to notice. If you love city walks and historical charm, this route surrounded by flowers and old buildings will definitely fill the space on your camera memory card and in your heart. #JapanTravel #TokyoSuburbs #YokohamaSecrets #CityWalking #WesternArchitectureTour
