Yokohama Archives of History Museum

#asiabudgetchallenge
The Yokohama Archives of History Museum, located near Yamashita Park and the historic Foreign General Cemetery. This museum focuses on the opening of Yokohama Port and Japan’s early international diplomacy. Housed in a beautiful Western-style building, it features old maps, photographs, and letters that bring Yokohama’s global story to life.

💸 Rough Budget
Admission is only ¥200, and with transportation and a drink, I spent about ¥1,000 total—a great cultural trip on a budget!

💡 Your #1 Travel Tip
Visit early, then walk to nearby Harbor View Park or Motomachi. The museum has an English-friendly section, and the old British Consulate architecture makes for great photo spots outside.
