Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall

"Constructed in 1917 in memorial of the 50th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama Port, this historical building is representative of Yokohama City. The stained glass along the walls of the central staircase and the second s floor hall feature lead lines that are free and meticulous, making it an extremely valuable work, even considering Japanese stained glass history. The clock tower is 36 meters high and is beloved as ""Jack's Tower."" Designated as a Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property in 1989, it is utilized as a public hall for Naka District."
