To commemorate this anniversary, the city of Yokohama is sponsoring “EXPO Y150”, a grand exposition focusing on the history and attractions of the city, based on the theme “Set Sail”. Events venues include the Bayside Area, centered in the Minato Mirai district; the Mother Port Area of popular eateries and fashion shops around Yokohama Station and in the Yamashita-Yamate neighborhoods; and the Hillside Area adjacent to the lush natural setting of Zoorasia. Events held in these three areas of “sea”, “city” and “nature”will plant the seeds of a vibrant future for the city of Yokohama. The ship named “EXPO Y150” is setting sail!
