Bashamichi Jyuban-Kan

Yokohama


Soak up the old Yokohama vibes at this former trading company building turned cafe-bar and French restaurant. You can join the well-to-do regulars for tea and pastries at dainty tables, or seek out the clubby little bar up the wooden staircase past old photographs of the port area.

Look for the five-storey building of red brick with stone portico and coloured-glass windows.
