I wish I could tell you about the photograph on the postcard or where you can find this particular card, but all the information is in Japanese. If I manage to figure it out, I'll update this post.
Yokohama is Japan's second-largest city by population, with approximately 3.7 million people. It is located on Tokyo Bay, south of Tokyo, and is an important economic, cultural, and commercial centre within the Greater Tokyo Area. It is also part of the Keihin Industrial Zone, one of Japan's major industrial regions.
One of Yokohama's most recognizable areas is Minato Mirai 21 (みなとみらい21), the city's central business district. Its name translates roughly as "Harbour of the Future 21." Development began in 1983, with the goal of creating a new urban centre that would connect Yokohama's traditionally important districts of Kannai and the Yokohama Station area.
The waterfront district features pedestrian promenades, the Yokohama Landmark Tower, the Pacifico Yokohama convention centre, art museums, and numerous cafés and shops. Several major Japanese companies, including Nissan Motors, JGC Corporation, and Chiyoda Corporation, have established their headquarters or offices in the area.
Minato Mirai is also a popular tourist destination. Visitors are attracted by Yokohama Chinatown, the beautiful waterfront views, cruise ships docked at
Ōsanbashi Pier, and the impressive Yokohama Bay Bridge.
The Yokohama Chinatown is one of the largest Chinatowns in the world. It was developed following the opening of Yokohama's port in 1859, when Chinese merchants and other immigrants settled in the city. Today, it is famous for its restaurants, shops, colourful gates, and Chinese temples.
