The visitors and I met at Yokohama Osanbashi International Passenger Terminal and went to Sankeien Garden.  As there were few people in the garden, we felt very good taking a walk on a fine autumn morning. There were red spider lilies blooming in the garden, which made us feel autumn coming. We looked at all the structures in Inner Garden such as Rinshunkaku and Choshukaku. In Outer Garden, first we went up a hill and reached Three Story Pagoda of Old Tomyoji and then looked around other structures. Lastly we visited Sankei Memorial, where we enjoyed drinking powered green tea. We went back to Yamashita-cho by bus.  After having lunch there, we left for Yamate Area.  We walked to Harbor View Park, British House, Yamate Museum, Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery, and so on.  And then we went to Motomachi Shopping Street. As it was very crowded, we couldn’t feel the real traditional atmosphere of the town. Then we went to a restaurant and felt refreshed. We took a train at Motomachi-Chukagai Station and said good-by at Yokohama Osanbashi International Passenger Terminal.
