Throughout its history, Yokohama has constantly introduced new cultures from around the world. In addition to its historical buildings with a foreign atmosphere, there are monuments that convey the history of Yokohama's opening as a port, as well as the origins of ice cream, jazz, railways, gas lamps, and more, all of which started in Yokohama. There is also the distinctive cuisine that Yokohama has maintained its unchanged taste since its establishment.
