This was my favorite hang out on the Weekend almost 30 years ago when I lived in Yokohama. It feels wonderful to see everything unchanged especially the big beloved ship anchored here.

 

Hikawa Maru (氷川丸) is a retired Japanese ocean liner that Yokohama Dock Company built for the NYK Line. She was launched on 30 September 1929 and made her maiden voyage from Kobe to Seattle on 13 May 1930. She is permanently berthed as a museum ship at Yamashita Park, Naka-ku, Yokohama.
