| | Motomachi and Yamate, Japan. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com |
 | | Take the station's southeastern exit to find Motomachi, a fashionable shopping street from pre war days, which used to serve the city's expatriate community and still exudes a faint European flavour. |
 | | Today the narrow lane of small shops, selling foreign brand names, imported books and exotic foodstuffs, continues to draw the punters, particularly on Sundays and holidays, when it's turned over to pedestrians; note that many stores close on Monday. |
 | | At the east end of Motomachi, a wooded promontory marks the beginning of Harbour View Park; take any of the paths going uphill to find the lookout point where the British and French barracks once stood – the panoramic view of the harbour and its graceful Bay Bridge is particularly beautiful at night. |
