Yokohama developed as a port city for foreign trade at the end of the Edo Period (Year 1603-1867). The international city of Minato Mirai 21, established by an urban redevelopment plan targeted towards the city’s entry into the 21^st century, is the new face of Yokohama containing many commercial establishments. A panoramic view of Yokohama Bay can be seen from Yokohama Bay Bridge, a new sight that connects Honmoku Pier to Daikoku Pier. Exotic shops, such as furniture stores, gather in Motomachi, and Yokohama China Town is one of the largest in the world.
