Exotic but chaotic area


Marine building

This area has some exotic mood by various signboards. Although most of the signboards are English, it seems a bit chaotic because of their nationality. Next to the London clothes shop is a Hawaiian restaurant where we can hear their music. Very near to that Hawaiian music, we see the famous scandinavian restaurant.


横浜は日本大通りから大桟橋に向かうところですが、このあたりは一見日本じゃないように思えます。ハイカラと言えばハイカラなのですが、ロンドンの衣料店に隣接してハワイアンレストランがあり、結構な音量でハワイアンミュージックが流れていて、さらにはScandiaという北欧レストランが近くにありと、かなり混沌としています。そのあたりが横浜らしいと言えなくもなく、何とも不思議な感じです。

The leffhand side building of today's shot is called Kaiyoh Kaikan that is shown here.

海洋会館のビルは、昭和のニオイのする建物です。ただ古いだけではない、風格と歴史に加えてどことなく横浜のハイカラな感じが漂っています。この写真は昨年のものですが、本日アップした写真の左側がその海洋会館です。
