FIELD TRIP 02

YOKOHAMA HISTORY on foot

NOT Required, but can use this trip for class credit.

November 2 (Monday) 16:30~18:20

16:30 MEETING LOCATION: 

KU CAMPUS CLASSROOM 6009



YOKOHAMA HARBOR area on foot

This is a walking historical tour of old Yokohama.
Yokohama was built for international trade in the 1850s and has expanded since. Chinatown emerged during this time, which is where the Chinese merchants, traders, managers, and prostitutes lived. Chinatown evolved into a restaurant district during the 20th century.  

There has always been an American influence in Yokohama, since the U.S. Black Ships (kurofune) [picture to left] arrived in 1853, to force Japan to open its borders. The U.S. also made Yokohama its HQ during the U.S. occupation of Japan during 1945-1952. 
(Still today, the largest American naval base in the world, outside of the U.S. itself, is in Yokosuka, which is several kilometers down the coast from Yokohama.)

We will walk around some well-known and essential historical sites near the water, from Nihon-odori to Yamashita Park.
