2 recommended spots where you can feel Yokohama’s trends and history

Yokohama has lots of spots with a modern atmosphere, such as ‘Minato Mirai 21’ consisting of Yokohama Cosmo World, Red Brick Warehouse etc and ‘Yamashita Park’ with a romantic view of the boats going and coming. On the other hand, it is also a historic port town that 160 years will have passed since its opening. So, shops which are renovated old buildings as well as instagrammable spots adopting trends are increasing. Why not enjoy visiting spots where you can feel Yokohama’s trends and history?

This time, we’re going to introduce our recommended spots around Yokohama Sakuragicho Washington Hotel.

A stylish cafe “Cafe OMNIBUS” in a historical building

The former Daiichi Bank Yokohama Branch, made of pure white brick, was built in 1929. We think some people have passed in front of it despite having seen it while stroll around the central Yokohama. Do you know there is “Cafe OMNIBUS,” perfect for dating and kitty party, on the 1st floor of the building,? Gentle sunlight pouring through large windows and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling create a sense of openness. There are also instagrammable food carts in this cafe bringing Marche to your mind, so you must want to take a photo. You can enjoy eating sandwiches from various countries with plenty of vegetables and drinking coffees whose beans vary from day to day.
