Motomachi-Chukagai Station, the final stop on the MM Line (Minatomirai Line)!
This station is a great base for sightseeing in the Yamate area, including the Foreign Cemetery, the Western-style houses, Yamashita Park, and Harbor View Park.
And when you exit the Motomachi exit of Motomachi-Chukagai Station, you'll find the stylish Motomachi Shopping Street.
At the entrance to Motomachi Shopping Street, an illuminated archway welcomes you.
In the distance, you can see "Motomachi Plaza," a long-established shopping center.
Are the objects on top of the archway cranes?
The street, with a mix of luxury shops, cafes, general stores, and long-standing establishments, is fun to explore.
And along Motomachi Street...
There are benches like this, how stylish!
Illuminated two-seater benches are dotted along the sidewalks.
Since there are lights embedded in the tree floor to the right of the bench, I wonder if they light up even outside of the Christmas season.
Are they aiming for that Instagrammable look?!
But you'll want to take a picture, right? ♪
The flowers in the planter next to the bench are also cute.
It seems like a good date spot in Motomachi at night, too!
By the way, if you visit around May, you'll find benches with beautiful flower arches like this!
There are also stylish benches with parasols on the street where you can relax.
It's perfect for eating takeout in Motomachi or taking a break from sightseeing.
You can also use free Wi-Fi.
So, why not use these spots as resting places in Motomachi, Yokohama?
