 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.

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.
