As was forecast, it started to rain with a strong wind.  We went down the stairs to Dockyard Garden and explained it in the middle of a gust.  Her umbrella turned inside out.  As The Landmark Tower was covered with clouds, visibility was almost zero meter.  After taking a rest at Starbucks in front of Sakuragicho Station, we went to Red Brick Warehouse by bus called “Akai-Kutsu.”  And then I gave her detailed explanations both about Osanbashi Yokohama International Passenger Terminal and Port Opening Memorial Park.  She enjoyed the atmosphere of Westernization of Yokohama on the way to Bashamichi.  Then we walked into the train station of Minatomirai Line, explaining that the building of each of the six stations is architected based on the different concept of history, ship, sea, future, and so on.  I think she could understand that.
