This is an interesting series of posts, the Now and Then. What made you think of doing this? My favorite so far is the Hiwaka-maru. Do you know if the ship is open to the public right now?

The idea came from seeing an old postcard of Yokohama and recognizing the place.

The Hiwaka-maru (and also Marine Tower) closed down:

But the City of Yokohama hopes to find a solution and re-open these two landmarks.
