After getting something to snack on and something cold to drink, headed back to the train station on the way home. Tonight, the Japanese sail training ship, Nippon Maru, was on full display and lit up tonight.
Not only did the water reflect the surrounding skyscrapers, hotels, and the ship itself, but also the rainbow of colors coming from the Ferris wheel nearby.
The ship was built in 1930 and retired in 1984. Now, volunteers work to provide visitors to the ship educational programs about sea life on sailing vessel. There is a museum nearby that is also a big attraction for tourists and students.
The ship is moored in what remains of the original dockyards there were here in Minato Mirai before the city of Yokohama converted the dockyards into a waterfront park.
My favorite picture of all. I like the old ship, the modern skyscrapers, and the colorful Ferris wheel in this shot.
