Yokohama has many points that tell the story of Japan's modernization history. One of them is where Commodore Perry's Black Ships fleet anchored at Hakkeijima Sea Paradise. This place holds significant meaning as the meeting point for the conclusion of the Japan-U.S. Treaty of Amity and Commerce.
Hakkeijima is an artificial island, but around it, there was a fishing village called "Koshiba" since the Edo period, and there was a hill close to the coastline at that time. It's likely that in 1853, Commodore Perry's Black Ships fleet could be seen from here. Inside the island, there is a monument commemorating the fleet's anchorage.
At Sea Paradise, they operate the "Paradise Cruise," where you can enjoy this historic area from the ship. Enjoy the abundant nature of Hakkeijima and the contrast of timeless views from the ship.
On the cruise, you can tour around Hakkeijima. On the east side of the island, you can have a distant view of Mt. Fuji, and from the west side, you can have a panoramic view of Yokohama's skyline. From inside the ship, you can also enjoy the lush natural beauty of the island.
