YOKOHAMA HAMMERHEAD

Japan's first complex facility combining "commercial facilities," "a cruise ship terminal," and "a hotel" opened at the Shinko Pier in the Minato Mirai district in 2019. The facility's name comes from the "Hammerhead crane" that remains as a symbol at the tip of the pier. This historical industrial relic was used for loading and unloading cargo until the 1970s.

Kanazawa Noh Museum

In Kanazawa, due to the fondness of the Kaga Clan's Maeda family for Noh, and their efforts to spread chanting among the commoners, it was once said that "chants rain down from the sky." To continue and pass down this tradition of performing arts and artifacts, a museum was established in Hirosaka, related to the Kanazawa Noh Theater.
