Since the ground is large for walking,  next time I might use van inside the park. Indian elephant 3 elephant were given by Mumbai, which is a sister city of Yokohama.

Christmas decoration at Yamate Western museum　山手西洋館の世界のクリスマス2023

 World Christmas 2023 at Yamate Western museum is my favorite event.  Admission fee is free.  Bluff No.18 Building ブラフ18番館 This building was built as priest house of Yamate Cathoric church.  16, Yamate-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama 5 minutes walk from JR Ishikawa-cho station. 大正末期に外国人住宅として建てられた建物。戦後はカトリック山手教会の司祭館として使われ、現在の場所に移築されました。 学生時代にカトリックの施設（修道院や鎌倉にあった西洋館など）を訪問したことがあるので、ブラフ18番館を訪れると懐かしい気持ちになります。 Living room "Sweeden Christmas" is theme of Bluff No.18. 今年のブラフ18番館は、スウェーデンがテーマです。 冬が長い北欧では手作りの幸せを呼ぶダーラナホースが作られます。 このピアノは、100年前の松本ピアノです。 Diplomat's house  外交官の家 Adjacent to Bluff No.18. Theme is "Vietnamese Christmas"  View from the garden. This fountain reminds me of Alhambra. 庭園には、噴水が作られていました。スペインのアルハンブラ宮殿を思い出しました。
