Kanteibyo Temple (関帝廟) is a spiritual landmark in Yokohama’s Chinatown. It shines like a beacon of faith with its vibrant red exterior and intricate detailing. Dragon statues stand above the entrance with poised bodies and open mouths, fiercely guarding the temple. The interior is decorated ornately with gold designs, wordlessly speaking of the temple’s significance. In the center sits a statue of Guan Yu, a famous military general turned deity who is immortalized in the historical Chinese novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Worshippers pray to Guan Yu for business and financial prosperity.

Masobyo

Masobyo

Masobyo Temple (媽祖廟), also called Ma Zhu Miao, is located in Yokohama’s Chinatown. The young Taoist temple, which opened relatively recently in 2006, enshrines Mazu, the Chinese Goddess of the Sea. Despite its young age, the temple exudes ancient spirituality older than its years. The structure has a geometrical base and is decorated with blue, green, red, and gold detailing. A massive gate welcomes visitors and worshippers alike and is connected to the main temple with a line of red lanterns. Inside Masobyo, a statue of Mazu is cloaked in vibrant attire and wearing an imperial headdress, symbolizing her godly status. The interior is equally as impressive as the outside with exquisite designs covering every surface. Worshippers commonly go to the temple to pray for safe travels since, historically, sailors and fishermen would pray to the goddess for calm seas during their journeys. History of Mazu: Goddess of the Sea As a human, Mazu was born in the tenth century and named Lin Mo. According to legend, she was gifted with supernatural abilities, such as predicting the weather, calming storms, and experiencing visions. She dedicated her life to the teachings of Tao and ascended to the heavens at age 28 as a goddess. Mazu has two demon bodyguards, Qianliyan and Shunfenger. Both demons vowed to protect Mazu after failing to defeat her in combat for her hand in marriage. Inside Masobyo, statues of the demon guardians stand to the left and right of Mazu. One, colored red, is positioned in a listening pose with his hand to his ear, while the green colored one is diligently watching, with eyes that seem to scan the temple. Today Worshippers visit Masobyo to pray to Mazu for safe travels, as well as general health and safety. The temple is also a popular spot for tourists due to its traditional architecture and cultural significance in Chinatown. Of course, Mazu’s affinity for keeping travellers safe is appealing to tourists as well. Masobyo’s temple staff are extremely helpful and more than willing to teach visitors the appropriate methods of worship. Individuals who want a closer look at Mazu’s statue are required to buy incense sticks, which they place in five burners. After lighting the incense sticks, they should bow in respect. During New Years, the temple becomes crowded with people participating and watching the festive displays.

Parque Yamashita

El Parque Yamashita se considera el primer parque costero de Japón y está ubicado directamente frente al puerto de Yokohama, extendiéndose casi 700 metros desde el lado este de Osanbashi hasta el muelle de Yamashita. Fue creado llenando el sitio con los escombros del gran terremoto de Kanto y se inauguró en 1930. El parque incluye un prado de césped, un jardín de rosas, la estatua de la "Niña con zapatos rojos", la estatua del "Guardián del agua", que es un regalo de San Diego, una ciudad hermana de Yokohama y el monumento a la canción "Kamome no Suihei-san" ("Seagull Sailor"), una escalera de agua y un escenario.

Parque Yokohama

El parque Yokohama es el segundo parque más antiguo de Yokohama después del parque Yamate y se abrió al público en 1897. Con la construcción del estadio de Yokohama, se renovaron las deterioradas instalaciones del parque y se renovaron un estanque, un arroyo estilo jardín japonés, una fuente y un río. En noviembre se plantarán alrededor de 140,000 tulipanes de alrededor de 70 variedades en el parque de Yokohama. El tiempo de floración varía según el tipo de flor, pero dependiendo del clima, los tulipanes suelen estar en plena floración desde principios hasta finales de Abril. El parque es un destino turístico popular, especialmente en este momento.
