Yokohama Port Museum

The museum was very interesting I learned alot about the Yokohama harbor that I had no idea happened. This museum is full of interesting exhibits a couple short movies and a couple simulators. This is a must see if you are visiting Yokohama the sailing ship was under repair and wasn’t open when I visited in February 2024 so hopefully it will be soon

An excellent museum that explains the different time periods of the port of Yokohama. English is available throughout and there are even fun simulator games to play.

This was an awesome museum! It is very well done and I learned a ton about Yokohama history, how the port was built, and about boats and ships in general. The majority of the writing is in Japanese but just reading the English titles and looking at the visuals was worth while. There are multiple videos that have subtitles and a VR video experience that they can play in English. There are a few activities for kids. Highly recommend, especially if you have any interest in history or port operations/engineering. There was also a QR code for an English guide, but I didn’t even get around to it. Plenty to see and learn without it. Also a small, cute gift shop. Lockers available for small/medium bags.

A nice museum exploring the history of the Yokohama Port and its eventual destruction

The museum tells the history of the Japanese shipping industry from the landing of the first US ship on Japan's shores to the construction of Japan's ports and the first ship built in Japan. The museum uses pictures, audio and video for the narrative .

interesting museum, i spend 1 hour in the museum and the cruise. the museum have english description for their display and animation.

Enjoyed going through and learning about the maritime history of Japan. Plenty of English translations so no issues for tourists to come and learn and enjoy. I only wish the souvenir shop had more variety for me to bring back something for keepsake!

Great museum. Large and well made exhibitions. A little niche, but if you are interrested in history, this is a nice treat. When we visited it was too hot to enjoy walking around the sailing ship, but i'm sure it's also nice if you're not rushing through to get to the airconditioning of the main museum.
