Introduction

The Yokohama Archives of History occupy the red-brick former British Consulate by Yamashita Park, telling Yokohama's story since its 1859 opening as a port — from trade and the foreign settlement to the making of a modern city. Documents, models and reconstructed scenes evoke the port's early look, an entry point to Yokohama's identity as a 'harbour city'.
