What people say

Dan Tanda
"Featured in Yokohama Tours, this area is a nice place for boutique shopping, cafes, coffee shops, dessert shops, and unusual blends of Japanese and European cooking. In the early years of the Meiji era (1868) there was an increase in the foreign population in Motomachi, which brought about a growing Western influence, leading to the establishment of various cafés, bakeries, and boutiques. These establishments were uncommon in Japan at that time, and Motomachi played a role in introducing aspects of Western culture to the Japanese population."
