Recently, the KPHS Zoology class made a trip to the Yokohama Silk Museum. (English link) This is small, but very well done museum at the Silk Center, near the Nihon-odori Station off the Minatomirai Subway Link. Entrance is just 500 yen for adults and 200 yen for students. The museum consists of two floors. The bottom is a wonderful display of hands-on activities and English descriptions; the kids loved it here. Upstairs is more of the history of silk garments in Japan. Overall, it was a very enjoyable visit. Small but quite fascinating. Most of the kids liked it better than they thought they would. It won't take long to tour the museum, but there are several other centers in the area to see. You are also not far from Chinatown or Landmark Tower. Enjoy a nice walk along the water too.
